Read about Noemi’s residency project below in her words…

I will develop my new theatre piece, which will premiere in autumn 2026. The project explores the moment when the life we know begins to collapse and another has not yet taken shape. Through two characters who desire one thing and its opposite, the work investigates contradiction as a vital force and questions our longing for certainty. During this period, I will refine the dramaturgy while shaping the aesthetic language of the piece, preparing the next research and development phase with the artistic team of the project in Madrid.
