Teatro ICTUS Premieres New Production «Violeta, Fragments of a Vine» from the Pájaro Azul Workshop

Under the banner #ICTUSCOMMUNITIES – where Teatro ICTUS commits to supporting and providing a platform for new generations of artists working in community – the iconic venue hosts 12 talented adolescent actors and actresses in their latest production, «Violeta, Fragments of a Vine.»

This performance is the culmination of the Pájaro Azul Workshop, an advanced educational project involving 10 months of research, acting training, and musical preparation.

Directed by actor, director, and theater and film coach Khaled Darwich, the project is developed as an artistic residency in collaboration with the «Comunidad Escénica,» an essential space for nurturing artists and professional scenic processes.

The play is a collective creation that reinterprets the figure of Violeta Parra through the lens of new generations. The script is built from fragments of her life, letters, and live songs from the national icon, offering a sensitive and contemporary exploration aimed at understanding her not just as an icon, but as a living thought.

The story follows a group of students and their teacher embarking on a mysterious quest about the iconic folk singer, attempting to revive her through snippets of her life, letters, and live songs, and in doing so, to achieve a deeper understanding of her.
