Genre: Interactive performance

Dramasofía is a participatory performance about philosophy and adolescence designed for a Classroom.

Traveling through the theories of the six great philosophers that were most impactful during our secondary education, we set out on a journey exploring our own adolescence to find what of their theories is still present in us and why. Our existential questions cross with those of the philosophers: Socrates, Plato, Hume, Mill, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche. Six images are projected from our own body and invite the audience to consider their own relationship with Philosophy. Concepts materialize, taking the form, color and movement of dreams, memories and fantasies. Theories are released from the notebook as if they came out of a secret diary.

The period of adolescence as a time of educational training and transformation of identity, shares the searching spirit of Philosophy. Adolescence becomes a metaphor of a conscious state in constant evolution. Dramasofía uses theatre to confront the conflicts of adolescence and shine light on their philosophical value.

How can we explain philosophical theories through moving images?

How can we transmit abstract concepts through dramatic games?

How can we pass from ideas to actions?

From theory to biography?

From thoughts to body?
