Universal themes from a particular point of view.

La Pedrera is once again becoming a forum for the contemporary dramatic arts, with approaches mixing movement, music, speech, video and objects.

New Scenes is a cycle showing the vitality and diversity of the contemporary theatre scene. At the evocative venue of La Pedrera this year, as part of its commitment to support creativity and promote talent, the Catalunya La Pedrera Foundation presents and produces two creative world premieres and two pieces by emerging young creative talents who have won recognition from the public and critics.

It is a chance not to be missed to enjoy contemporary creativity on stage. A live event like this, connecting directly with the audience in the venue, is perhaps the art form that has the best chance of achieving impact and transformation.

So, after six successful seasons, the Catalunya La Pedrera Foundation wants to bring the dramatic arts centre stage once again because they have the potential and capacity to generate approaches providing society with transformational, emotional, critical, aesthetic and spiritual values.
