The proposal, jointly presented by Ancoraxe Escénicas and Compañía Morraoconto, directed by Sara Rey and Rafa R. Martínez, addresses information overload and narrative control in the media.
The director of the Centro Dramático Galego, Fran Núñez, participated yesterday in the award ceremony at the Espazo Cultural Manuel María in A Coruña. The contest combines support for creation with an exhibition circuit that facilitates encounters between professional companies and audiences from different parts of Galicia. The financial aid is complemented by the guarantee of at least 40 performances, thanks to the collaboration of provincial councils, city councils, and participating theatre festivals.
‘Semente de dramón’ draws from Manuel María's text of the same name to revisit the farce with current aesthetic and conceptual references, using contemporary scenic language that incorporates music, songs, and choreography.
The jury praised the proposal's exploration of Manuel María's satirical approach through an eclectic cast and artistic team, highlighting the research into who controls the media narrative and the playful spirit of the production, which complements its critical dimension and connects the author's text with current dramaturgy.
