The metaphysical clowns duo -Oscar Gómez Mata and Juan Loriente- continue their search for feelings under the sensitive.
Juan Loriente and Oscar Gómez Mata are actors, creators and poets. They consider the stage as a reality where mystery is received. The idea is to play at being surprised and innocent, and working on what exists and its flip side, i.e. dreaming. They are both detectives of what is “real” or, to be more precise, the idea of what we consider to be the truth.
Their artistic complicity came about with “MAKERS”, Oscar Gómez Mata - Compagnie l’Alakran´s creation, developed as an Azkuna Zentroa Associated Artist. This is again the basis of the creative impulse of “INACTUALES”, where this duo of metaphysical clowns continues their search for feelings under the sensitive. This time, it is inert matter that is there to reveal some unproven truths to us. On this occasion, they count with the artistic collaboration of Sandra Cuesta, author of the sound intervention “Lo adherente y el fuego” in Azkuna Zentroa in 2020.

Nowadays, it is increasingly difficult to trust. We doubt what we see and what we hear. We can't be sure that you and I will see the same thing. Can what is shown really give us a picture of reality? We see something but we don't really know what it is.
In this age of dystopia of systemic collapse and deficit in the recognition of the human being as a creative individual, we would like to propose an experience of the soul, a way of rebirth, a way of bringing back to the world feelings and hypersensitive intuitions that are often practiced beyond reason or Cartesian thought, which place our steps in innocence, for all this is a terrible lack in our society.
“INACTUALES” is a co-production of Grütli – Centre for the production and dissemination of the performing arts in Geneva (Switzerland) and Azkuna Zentroa – Alhóndiga Bilbao

Arouses radical emotions on stage, creating playful, philosophical and always poetic performances.
