SÂLMON 2022
Fictions, Future, History
David Aguilar in Dialogue with Pablo Gisbert (El Conde De Torrefiel)
Scene
Free with pre-booking
In this dialogue-digression, David Aguilar Sanjosé and artist Pablo Gisbert, founder of the El Conde de Torrefiel project, address a series of questions about the future of the living arts, or the living arts as future.
The overabundance of narratives that defines the contemporary world seems to have triggered, following the logics of economic inflation, to a devaluation of fiction as a tool of critical intervention. Documented facts and subjective experiences often tend to replace the (hyper) metafictional awareness or the suspicion of an unavoidably opaque language. Simultaneously, that raises some questions regarding the future of performing arts, or the performing arts as a future: are we pleading for a certain degree of innocence in the arts? Can we envisage alternative futures without fiction? Which role should writing play, then? How do we relate to History? Are we at the end of something? And if so, what shall we do with the ruins?
