Y Los Huesos Hablaron Y LOS HUESOS HABLARON Societat Doctor Alonso / Teatro de Babel - Dramafest Museu d’Arqueologia de Catalunya, from 6th to 9th of July SOCIETAT DOCTOR ALONSO www.doctoralonso.org “Y los huesos hablaron” Coproduction betwen; Societat Doctor Alonso (España) & Teatro de Babel (Mexico) Sinopsis: The work “Y los huesos hablaron ”1 comes form the willingness to unearth and revisiting two historical conflicts that its narrators have wanted to keep invisible on behalf of an alleged stability that had to allow a new socio-political and cultural situation to be born. It will cope with such hidden conflicts that despite the efforts of the society and the establishment to keep them invisible remain at the base of most political and social tensions in both countries today. The cases of Spain and its civil war, with all the disappeared still to be exhume and recognize in the gutters of the country, and Mexico, with the long process of elimination and castration of the various indigenous cultures that were disappearing after a new single, unitary country called Mexico. Bounds will talk to the audience. The voice of thouse who never had the voice to explain it’s history, or the other site of History. This piece is the result of an investigations process called; “El desenterrador2” that Societat Doctor Alonso have been developing the last two years. More Info: https://eldesenterrador.com/ 1 (=) “And t he bones spoken” 2 Desenterrador, from verb “desenterrar”(=) dig up, unearth SOCIETAT DOCTOR ALONSO www.doctoralonso.org Societat Doctor Alonso La Societat Doctor Alonso, directed by Tomas Aragay (Theater director and dramaturg) and Sofia Asencio (dancer and choreographer) has constructed a language which has found one of its key factors in the concept of placing anything outside of its place, area or ‘own space’ in order to investigate how this movement modifies language with respect to both its constituent grammar as well as with respect to the reading made by an observer. This involves moving in order to reveal something. This movement has shown itself to be an efficient tool for creating areas of poetic discourse which question our ‘standardised’ understanding of reality.

(0034) 620 325114 SOCIETAT DOCTOR ALONSO www.doctoralonso.org THE COMPANY – SOCIETAT DOCTOR ALONSO La Societat Doctor Alonso, directed by Tomás Aragay (theater director and playwrighter) and Sofia Asencio (dancer and choreographer) has built an unmistakable stage language, which has a peculiar spectacular as less spectacular as can be. The absurd and naif are the principles of the rupture with the conventional speech of theater language, creating the poetry of the pathetic. This shows he creates generate situations of tension, that emerge from the freedom of re invention of the rules of drama and break with schemes and hierarchy preestablished, with a great dose of humor, not – smart, fresh, where the same time and space converge in drama and humor with the intention of debunk the signifier of things, searching with incitement the audience´s complicity. They mix genres, scenic forms; they count with collaborators from the most varied origin, so they create them particular way of inhabiting the stage where beauty and grotesque coexists. Offbeat with each new project, they start from zero point to start again to rethink its own artistic language, forcing the established limits. TRAJECTORY Tomás Aragay established in 1996, with Roger Bernat, the “Creació in Barcelona, where he develops his artistic activities in collaboration with other artists, Sofía Asencio among them. In late 2001 “General Elèctrica”” closes its doors, by a unanimous decision, because of personal, economic and cultural environment reasons. Since that moment Tomás Argaray and Sofía Asencio consider a new phase in their artistic development and create Societat Doctor Alonso, as an open and mutant group of artists, a space for creation, training and reflection around the scenic fact. Settles at the Empordà to get away from the “noise” and “uniformity” that surrounds contemporary creation and the artistic environment that a big city like Barcelona has. SOCIETAT DOCTOR ALONSO www.doctoralonso.org A way to retract or view of our own inside, to search our own voice.To create in a rural environment, is anchoring our steps in our own cultural tradition, in a way that from this peripheral observatory, build a strong universal discourse. In the same way the “La societat Doctoro Alonso”” is born with a clear vocation of constant exchange with the foreign; this vocation is supported by a double conviction: on the one hand the need of maintaining a permanent listening of the creative ways which are developed outside our boundaries, and on the other hand, the need of showing its work to an audience from diverse cultural provenance to place it in a frame of plural reception, which allows us to receive an artistically enriching feedback. ”La societat doctor Alonso” company collaborates with a wide spectrum of multi-disciplinary artists, and participates in several projects on a regular basis.

  • For the Encouragement of Learning
    For the Encouragement of Learning Copyright 1710-2010 Anniversary Forum London, 9 April 2010 “For the Encouragement of Learning” The world’s first copyright law was passed by the English Parliament on 10 April 1710 as ‘An Act for the Encouragement of Learning’. The Queen Anne Statute, as it is known, marked the beginning of modern copyright law. Professor Gillian Davies, author of ‘Copyright and the Public Interest’, describes it as ‘the foundation upon which the modern concept of copyright in the Western world was built’, quoting Halsbury’s ‘Laws of England’, edited by Lord Hailsham, as saying, ‘In changing the conceptual nature of copyright, it became the most important single event in copyright history’ and Barbara Ringer, US Registrar of Copyrights, as saying, ‘It is the mother of us all, and a very possessive mother at that.’ The 300th anniversary provides a unique opportunity to review copyright’s purposes and principles. If today we were starting from scratch, but with the same aim of encouraging learning‚ what kind of copyright would we want? To answer this question, the British Council is organising a series of meetings in London, Shanghai and elsewhere. Our starting point is the question, What is the purpose of copyright? And, once that is agreed, even tentatively, how could we achieve it? Is the list of ‘qualifying works’ the right one? Should copyright arise automatically or should rights be registered? Is ‘copyright’ the appropriate name? How do we balance access and ownership? What are the optimal lengths of copyright terms? What is the role of moral rights, and of personal data and privacy? What do we mean by ‘fair’ in the phrases ‘fair dealing’ and ‘fair use’ and how do we uphold this fairness in practice? Is fairness in a physical world different from fairness in the digital space? How do we define unlawful copying and how do we promote a fair regime of sanctions and penalties? The possibilities of creating and copying have expanded dramatically in recent years.

  • Battling Bankers: Insights on Financial Power from the Grassroots
    STATE OF POWER 2019 Battling Bankers Insights on financial power from the grassroots Interview with Simona Levi, Alvin Mosioma and Joel Benjamin Worldwide, countless activists are engaged in challenging unjust financial power on a daily basis. Few are financial experts or economists but citizens who through their struggles have gained an understanding of financial power that few academics can rival. TNI had the privilege of talking to three warriors against the international banking cartel – a theatre director in Spain, a tax justice leader in Kenya and a local government campaigner in the UK – to hear about their struggles and the insights they have picked up that have relevance to all of us. Simona Levi, a theatre director and performance artist, is based in Barcelona. With her small group Xnet, she succeeded in getting former IMF chief and Bankia executive Rato and 17 others sentenced to prison in 2018 for their financial crimes and role in Spain’s economic crisis. Alvin Mosioma is based in Nairobi and with others stopped a tax avoidance treaty between Kenya and Mauritius. He helped organise the first World Social Forum in Kenya and is the founding Executive Director of Tax Justice Network-Africa. Joel Benjamin is based in London. His work with Debt Resistance UK has exposed a slew of toxic loans sold under false pretences to local authorities and has prompted major lawsuits, parliamentary enquiries and extensive media coverage. State of Power 2019: Finance 16 What finance-related campaigns are you involved in right now? Alvin: Our work revolves around how to ensure finance works for people.

  • Xnet, a Case Study: the Role of Civil Society in Building the Framework for Whistleblower Protection
    Xnet, a case study: the role of civil society in building the framework for whistleblower protection Simona Levi, Abstract founder of Xnet (Catalonia) Xnet’s years of work to improve democracy in the digital era and the Míriam Carles, lawyer at Xnet experience of fighting corruption have (Catalonia) positioned it as one of the main drivers of legislative processes to secure protection for whistleblowers and implement tools and protocols, both within institutions and externally, to facilitate the disclosure of wrongdoing. Introduction Xnet is a member of the Whistleblowing International Network (WIN) and comprises a group of activists working, inter alia, in the legal, technical and communications struggle to defend the use of the internet as a tool for improving democracy and fighting against abuses and corruption. In 2012 Xnet launched ‘15MpaRato’, a platform which instigated the citizens’ lawsuit responsible for setting in motion and driving forward the Bankia Case, which was later heard in the Spanish National Court, resulting in almost a hundred politicians and bankers being put in the dock accused of committing fraud during the bank bailout. Sixty-five of those accused, who come from all the main 2019 November political parties (PP, PSOE, IU) as well as the two leading trade unions (CCOO, UGT) and the Employers’ Association (CEOE), were recently convicted and 15 sent to jail. The swifting point of the lawsuit came about as a result of the action taken by European Public Mosaic / Catalonia School of Public Administration Xnet members in 2012 to bring to the public’s attention what was later referred 9 to by the press as ‘the Blesa e-mails’.
