"Did you know that loneliness is a particule floating in the air? And we are breathing it now?"
My name is Trinidad Piriz, I am 28 years old, and two years ago I gave my body to science. I am the object of experimentation of a group of scientists, who are dedicated exclusively to finding cures for loneliness. Tonight I will expose some physical experiments they have been trying out on me, because I believe that with constancy and discipline they can be successfully applied in daily life.
Trinidad Piriz, trained as an actress at Finis Terrae University Chile and Master in Performace Making at Goldsmiths Univesity of London. She is a founding member of the collective "laura&marta" ,based in Santiago de Chile. Theater/performance works includes, "home" (2007), "Asssembly" (2009), "Mi Fa Mi La" (2010), "Once" (2010).
In 2011 travels to New York to to take part in Robert Wilson's artistic residency The Watermill Center, with the lecture performance "What's he building in there'. Since 2009 Trinidad is a lecturer at Finis Terrae University and Catholic University of Chile.

Quim Pujol (Spain) - Tiburón Tigre (performance)
“Tiburón tigre” (“Tiger shark”) is a performance in an intimate setting where
the relationship with the audience is pushed to the forefront. It consists of a
series of short stories where certain themes emerge: homosexuality, fascism,
advertising, art, family… Although apparently the stories are not connected,
parallelisms are drawn: are there fascist attitudes in the gay community or
among contemporary artists? How important is advertising in contemporary
art? What happens when you are gay and you are born to a fascist family?
What did Hitler’s artwork look like? What did he think about advertising?
Beyond these questions, the tiger shark lurks beneath the surface, ready to
bite.
Quim Pujol (1978) directs and performs in his own pieces, such as “The
show machine” (2006), “Aspirine 500 mg” (2008), “Foreign bodies” (2009)
and “Tiger shark” (2010). From 2007 to 2010 he developed the project “The
discourse is mine” where he questioned authority figures in the art world.
He is chief contributing editor of the contemporary performing arts magazine
Artributos (www.edicioneselvivero.com), has run the dance section of Time
Out Barcelona (2009-2010), and writes a blog of alternative reviews and
critique (www.tea-tron.com/quimpujol). This season he co-programmes some
evenings in the Mercat de les Flors (Barcelona) within the “Secció Irregular”.
