Passion, rebellion, light, change. At some point in our lives we travel a path without order that leads us to face situations that cannot be indifferent to us. You are at a crossroads. Expose yourself. Rising up is your decision.
Kinetic Odyssey is an exhibition of collective work created by a group of young artists between 15 and 25 years old from Op Theater: Scenic Campus "Eusebio Sempere" who, during two weeks at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Alicante, have worked from the creation of the figure and work of Eusebio Sempere.
This activity is made possible thanks to the collaboration of the Culture Department, Centro 14, and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Alicante.
Young artists are sought who want to create collectively.
If you are between 13 and 25 years old, join a creative experience that can transform you. In July, come to MACA and be part of OP Theater: Campus Escénico "Eusebio Sempere". For two weeks you will be part of a group of curious people like you, where you will experiment with various artistic disciplines and participate in a collective creation showcase in the museum itself. Our main methodology will be theater. Play, body, imagination and movement as fundamental pillars.
This project is part of the centennial celebration program of Eusebio Sempere's birth, so our inspiration will be the life and work of the artist.
The Campus will take place at MACA from July 10 to 21, 2023, Monday to Friday from 10:00 to 13:30. The educators and professionals from the theater company Ambulantes Lab Iván Jiménez and Juan Diego Cerdá will guide you each morning, although the voice will be yours.
Free activity with limited spots. SPOTS FILLED. WAITING LIST OPEN

Why do I want to participate in OP Theater: Campus Escénico "Eusebio Sempere"?
"One breathes in the garden as in a forest" is a scenic exercise conceived by the company El Conde de Torrefiel for a single person.
During the advance sale from October 7 to November 3 (both inclusive), ticket prices are discounted by 50% OFF. The work is divided into two parts and has a duration of 30 minutes.
During this period of time, the participant is invited to first assume the role of performer, and then the role of audience member. In the first part, they must follow the instructions of a voice that, as if it were a musical score, indicates how to create live a series of simple performative actions. In the second part comes the moment to watch. The participant's gaze is what imagines the artistic fact that unfolds before their eyes.
The piece, in short, proposes a bidirectional look at the theatrical fact and the mechanisms of how imagination works: someone watches in silence while another person carries out an action on stage. These are the foundations of the primitive theatrical convention that has endured for thousands of years until our days.
Just as a garden is an artificial organization of nature—not Nature itself—theater is not reality, but an organization of words and images that someone arranges to create a discourse with internal logic. Reality, therefore, is only an artifact of imagination.
Founded in València by Tanya Beyeler and Pablo Gisbert, the theatrical company El Conde de Torrefiel is one of the main references at the European level for live arts and proposals far removed from conventional theater. This piece that we bring to the Alicante Theater Festival is a good example of the language that has earned international fame for the company.

"No more boring artists. Scenic Camp 14_18" is a creation project through the performing arts… and much more. It is an invitation to reinvent the concept of museum that young people have. We want the museum to become the epicenter of their passions, their interests and their aspirations. We know that this happens by awakening emotion, imagination, debate, encounter and discovery. It is necessary to reach them, and put at the center the topics that truly interest them. After all, art is a language, and we want our young people to express themselves through it. We want a creative society. We want them to be art.
Objectives
Convert MACA into a reference space among the youth population.
Bring young people closer to contemporary art so that they not only understand it, but also become creative agents.
Promote interest in artistic production and creation through the performing arts.
Foster social awareness and critical consciousness through the practice of different artistic disciplines.
Offer cultural leisure alternatives that can be consolidated beyond the project's calendar through the creation of permanent artistic collectives.
Establish bridges of intergenerational dialogue based on the use of new technologies and communication networks
Aimed at young people aged 14 to 18 years old.
Idea and coordination: AmbulantesLab selected in the #cercles 2021 call of the Consortium of Museums of the Valencian Community.
The work "Anou et Ouna" by the group La Luciole Écarlate is a story without text in which the characters are puppets manipulated in plain sight; timeless and universal, which project their shadow and lead the spectator to a world of reverie where everyone can create their own story.
Between dream and reality, a reflection of our desires and our fears. The aestheticism and poetry of this French creation is an invitation to an inner journey.
"Leap of Love" by the French company Golondrino. The MACA will be one of the venues hosting the 24th edition of the International Puppet Festival that will be held in Alicante from December 1-10, 2011.
Organized by the Culture Department in collaboration with different public and private entities, this edition will feature a total of 28 performances and 17 different stories.
Las Cigarreras, the MACA, Plaza del Mercado, CAM Culture Classroom, El Claustro, El Paseo de Ramiro, Teatro Arniches, FNAC, Castillo de Santa Bárbara, and Sala Clan Cabaret are the venues where the 28 performances of a total of 17 stories from different parts of the world will take place.
The MACA will host the performance "Leap of Love" by the French company Golondrino. A story about an animated character facing a rather grumpy clock, a brief reflection on time and what it symbolizes. A wordless story with an explosion of creativity, humor, and poetry to tell a piece of the most surprising life. Special award for best street performance, Genk 2008.
Admission to all performances is limited by the capacity of the venues and the characteristics of the performance.
Not all new ways of understanding theater and culture have to be necessarily sustained by multimedia trends or projections; there are still things left for us to discover outside this realm. Capsules takes us into the world of theater and imagination, offering our senses the pleasure of living firsthand what the actors and manipulators feel on stage. Small stories where the spectator becomes the actor of the production. A show by the public for the public. A gift for the emotions.
Long Live Juana! The Woman and the City is a theatrical performance about the figure of Alicante-born artist Juana Francés. Through poetic text, we approach the complexity of a woman who had nothing easy in finding her place in the art world. Two Juanas, the artist and the personal, in continuous conflict but at the same time complementary and essential. A trajectory dedicated to research, to seeking new ways to express her concern about human beings, society and solitude.
This piece wants to pay sincere homage to an exceptional artist who triumphed both within and beyond our borders. From the present we look into a gray time where women could not have the same opportunities as their male counterparts. This is the story of a nonconformist artist who dedicated her life to doing what she loved most. No one imagined that Juana could live without asking for permission.
