URBANOTOPIAS DE LA INFANCIA (Obra sonora interactiva para niños (y adultos)) (Urbanotopías of childhood – Interactive audio adventure for children (and adults)) together with Plataforma Averso / Daniel Gonzalez Xavier (2016)   One day at dawn, at the top of the hill of the neighborhood Cerro Barón in the city of Valparaiso, Chile, an octopus wakes up inside a shipping container. How did he get in there? When he leaves the container, the octopus finds objects left behind by the children who had played in the site the previous day, some papers with mysterious clues: a treasure hunt!? Being highly curious, the octopus decides to follow the clues and discovers the neighborhood from the children’s perspective – until finding the final point of the treasure hunt: his own shipping container. This kind of fantastic audioguide was created based on the experience of a two-day workshop with boys and girls from different neighborhoods of Valparaiso. We worked and played with them in relation to the urban space, implementing theatrical exercises, listening to urban soundscapes, collective mapping and a treasure hunt. The project seeks to investigate, in a playful and sensitive way, the relationship between the inhabitants and their neighborhood as well as stimulating a creative imaginary.   “Urbanotopías of childhood” is the result of the production residency during ‘Festival Teatro Container’ in Valparaíso (Chile) which we realized together with Plataforma Averso / Daniel Gonzalez Xavier (Brazil). The presentations of the project were made during the festival in March 2016.   CAST: Realization and planification of the workshop: Daniel Gonzalez Xavier, Ariel Dávila + Christina Ruf Concept and realization of “Urbanotopías of childhood”: Daniel Gonzalez Xavier, Ariel Dávila + Christina Ruf Script and direction: Ariel Dávila + Christina Ruf (BiNeural-MonoKultur) Voice: Milca Galea Robles Music (songs): “El Forastero” KAIKüL (Puerto Montt, Chile), Chiodata “Matutinal”, Monoceros “Little Cowboys”, foxdevilswild & carlmaria “Valparaiso”, “La Contienda” KAIKüL (Puerto Montt, Chile), Acoplex “Plug-inn”, Música Colegio Ana María Janer (Viña del Mar, Chile) “Puerto Valpo” Projection: Entelequia Proyección Production: Milca Galea Robles, Plataforma Averso, BiNeural-MonoKultur Co-Production: Festival Teatro Container, Plataforma Averso, BiNeural-MonoKultur Thanks to: the children of the neighborhoods Cerro Barón, Cerro de la Cruz and Cordillera, Don Osvaldo, Michelle Fredes, Kena Kokaly and neighbors from the barrio.   DURATION: 35 minutes

LA NUBE (THE CLOUD) (Scenic Audiotour) (2013 – 2015)   Strange symptoms are appearing in the city, caused by an unknown phenomenon: the colour of the sky on some days, a faint buzzing sound, people’s behaviour… Bizarre incidents are occurring, with citizens acting as if under the power of a huge imperceptible remote control… An invisible cloud enshrouds the city… Carla is one of the victims of these inexplicable phenomena. But she is more involved than she thinks. Mauro, an old friend of hers, returns to the country after a long time away, trying to unravel the mystery. He suspects that his former professor Vicente Ludi has something to do with what is happening. Meanwhile, the Omega Resistance is preparing to take action… What is THE CLOUD? How is it controlled? And how can it be stopped? We’ll have to follow these characters along their paths through the city to find answers…   What is a Scenic Audiotour? A reduced group of spectators receives headphones and mp3-players in order to follow some characters on their way along a street in the city, accompanied by the voices of strange narrators.   THE CLOUD is the continuation of the artistic search of “The Salesman”, a piece also based on the Scenic Audiotour format. In this format the actors / characters walk along the streets of a city and interact with the space and its inhabitants. A reduced group of spectators follows them in their experiences, listening with an mp3 and headphones to a voice that narrates their story. This narration adds a literary aura to the piece, while at the same time introducing us to the thoughts of the characters and the acoustic climate that surrounds them. The scenic concept is about experimenting with cinematic narration with a voice-over about a fictional character in a real and tangible urban space.   This work received the Grant for the Advancement of Theatrical Activity in Cordoba ‘Featec’ (2013), a subsidy for production from the National Theatre Institute (2013), and has the support of the Goethe Institute Córdoba.   This performance participated in: – Provincial Theatre Festival of the National Theatre Institute INT, Córdoba (Arg.). 2015. – Festival “Fiesta Regional del Teatro Centro Litoral del Instituto Nacional del Teatro INT”, Venado Tuerto, Santa Fé (Arg). 2014. – A recording of THE CLOUD participated at the exhibition “Sovereignty of Use”, curated by Federico Baeza and Sebastian Vidal Mackinson as part of the series “Everyday scenic inventions – Projection of audiovisual recordings of theatrical experiences.” Art Space / OSDE Foundation, Buenos Aires (Arg.). 2014. – Provincial Theatre Festival of the National Theatre Institute INT, Córdoba (Arg.). 2014. – 2nd “Estival” (Summer) Festival, Córdoba (Arg.). 2014. – 1st Festival de Estrenos (Premieres Festival), Córdoba (Argentina). 2013.   CAST: Acting: Melina Passadore / Gabriela Aguirre, Marcos Cáceres and José Manuel Solís Narrators: Alicia Vissani, Gabriela Aguirre, Marcelo Arbach and Rodrigo Fonseca Original music and sound design: Guillermo Ceballos Concept, dramaturgy, direction and general production: Christina Ruf + Ariel Dávila (BiNeural-MonoKultur) Executive producer: María Luisa Stille and Priscila Sansica Props, costumes, hairstyles: Mercedes Coutsiers together with Nadia Budini, Rocio Juncos and Estefania De Gennaro Stencils: Pablo Huespe Graphic Design: Natalia Rojo Extras: Selene Gualino, Lucia Custo, Juan José Gagliesi, Malena Marta Demin, Florencia Molina, Gabriel Chiappero, Clara Segura, Romina Enrria, Nancy Gallardo, Florencia Illanes and others.

EL VIAJANTE (Audiotour Escénico) (THE SALESMAN – Scenic Audiotour) (2009 – …)   He knows it: This is the end, the last day. He dreamt it last night, and the dream was clear: This day will be the last. It has come full circle…Everything he does, he will do for the last time… We accompany the SALESMAN on his last day. We were summoned by the COMPANY. The end is near. A tornado threatens the city. But you can still save yourselves.   A reduced group of spectators receives headphones and mp3-players in order to follow a man on his way along a street in the city. They’re accompanied by the voice of a strange narrator who tries to reveal the enigmatic character. The Salesman is a piece with a principal character who walks along the streets of a city and interacts with the space and its habitants. A reduced group of spectators follows him in his experiences, listening with an mp3 and headphones to a voice that narrates his story. This narration adds a literary aura to the piece, while at the same time introducing us to the thoughts of the character and the acoustic climate that surrounds him. The scenic concept is about experimenting with cinematic narration with a voice-over about a fictional character in a real and tangible urban space. The city is the stage setting for this experience, which has so far been held in 4 cities. The first went under the name “Construindo João” in Crato, Brazil (2009) of a fully documentary nature; the second was held in Berlin under the name “Der Handlungsreisende” (The Salesman) (2010) and was entirely fictional. Finally, the third, set in Sorocaba (Brazil, 2012), merged both elements together. In 2018 we resumed the project to present it at the Sudaka Festival in Quito (Ecuador). We made a completely new edition, integrating interactive elements for the audience. The spectators are given a role with a mission and have to complete several tasks with the Salesman to reach the objective.   This performance was presented in: – Theatre Festival Sudaka 09, Quito (Ecuador). 2018 – SESC Sorocaba, SP (Brazil). 2012. – Festival 100°Berlin, at the theatre HAU (Hebbel am Ufer), Berlin (Germany). 2010. – Arts Exhibition Mostra Sesc Cariri de Cultura, Crato, Ceará (Brazil). 2009.   CAST: QUITO: Concept, dramaturgy and direction: Ariel Dávila + Christina Ruf (BiNeural-MonoKultur) Sound design: Guillermo Ceballos Voice: Gabriela Aguirre Acting: Ariel Dávila Co-production of BiNeural-MonoKultur and Festival Sudaka Thanks to: Bar La Cucaya (Cultural Centre “Centro Cultural Cumandá”) SOROCABA: Concept, dramaturgy and direction: Ariel Dávila + Christina Ruf (BiNeural-MonoKultur) Sound design: Guillermo Ceballos Acting: Ieltxu Martínez Ortueta Narrator: Gui Martelli Altmayer With the sppecial participation of: Wellington, Dona Isa and Seu Celso, Dona Cida, Seu Milton and Claudinei.

RECONSTRUCCIÓN – el modus operandi de las imágenes (RECONSTRUCTION – the modus operandi of images) (Interactive Performance) (2013 – 2018)   RECONSTRUCTION emerged from the invitation to participate in the series of performances called “EN VIVO” (Live) curated by Sofia Medici in Buenos Aires. We have created an interactive performance that includes the participation of the public. It involves reconstructing the real facts through published images / photographs. Some of the viewers receive numbers and will be summoned with that number to reconstruct the images. To do this, they have to follow the instructions that they receive by loudspeaker, without knowing which image they are reconstructing. When the (re-)composition is finished, a photo is taken and then compared against the original image. Then a text is shown on the projector explaining the circumstances of the original photo (what had occurred, where and when it happened). It is about reflecting, with the viewer-participant’s own body, on what could have happened in the original real situation, as well as analyzing the composition of the record of that fact: what we can learn from the bodies, expressions, positions etc. In this reconstruction process, we deal with the reality represented in images. A reality that, when it reaches us, has already been mediated, manipulated and distorted at the moment it was captured in photo. But we also reflect on the fact documented in the image and what effect it has on the bodies of the participating audience. We work with images of different political, historical and social events that were recorded by the media. These include both images known internationally, and some that have a more regional importance. In the reconstruction “sessions” we work with emblematic images related to different recent historical issues or we focuse on specific issues (and we use not just photographs but also other forms of record taking, such as painting), por example: – commemorating the date of the University Reform of 1918 in Córdoba, we worked on rebellions and revolutions (2015) – on the bicentennial anniversary of the Argentine Declaration of Independence, we developed reconstructions of images related to independence (in a broad sense) (2016) – on the occasion of the anniversary of the German reunification, we worked on the wall beginning with the end of the Second World War until the fall of the wall (2017) (this last presentation took place in the German School of Córdoba and in German).   Presentations: – Pedagogical University “Universidad Pedagógica Nacional Francisco Morazán“, San Pedro Sula (Honduras).

AUDIOTOUR FICCIONAL (FICTIONAL AUDIOTOUR) (2005 – …)   The project Fictional Audiotour is an individual audio experience that uses the city as scenery for a fictional walk. The spectator walks alone with an mp3-player and headphones along the streets of a city listening to a story that turns himself into the main character and that mixes real historical facts with fiction. During the day, millions of pedestrians pass through the cities, blinded by their own commonness. Buildings, details of the city, historical points, urban art, and even their fellow residents, sharing the same urban habitat, are ignored by passersby. Pay attention to the details of our surroundings, valuing the city not just as something containing busy lives, but as the space itself, with signs and particularities that reveal and inspire, denounce and transgress, teach and refute. It is necessary to break away from the obvious view, the habitual course, with its day-to-day alienation, to rethink the city and appreciate its heritage, both tangible and intangible. The audience plays an important role; they are transformed from passive spectators to the protagonists in their own adventure, in an urban scene with characters (real or fictional?) who also intervene in the game.   Since 2005 we have created numerous works in the form of a Fictional Audiotour. Each one is unique and non-transferable to another place. Each realization takes about a month of work, with extensive research on the place where it is performed, its own script and a specially composed soundtrack. We did the following different Fictional Audiotour works, most of them in Portuguese or Spanish. But amongst them you can find here a link to the ones that have also an English version: – “Grãos de História” (Grains of history).

No muy Vian (Not very Vian) (2017- 2018)   The piece has its starting point in the texts of the Frenchman Boris Vian, the skits of the German comedian Loriot and the films of the Finnish director Aki Kaurismäki, and weaves these influences into an unusual story. During the development of the piece, the work also dealt with the investigation of intertextuality, minimalism in acting and humor. Enrique, an artist who considers himself a genius, suffers a major crisis after being given a bad critique and decides to commit suicide. But since he does not manage to kill himself, he eventually signs a contract killer. A short time later, however, he meets a woman and falls in love with her. Now he does not want to die anymore and tries to dissolve the contract…   Presentations: – Theatre “Azucena Carmona” / Teatro Real, Córdoba (Arg.).

UTOPÍA Experiencia interactiva para bibliotecas (Utopia – Interactive experience for libraries) (2018 – …)   In a world very similar to our own, cultural centres, libraries and other public spaces are being closed down to turn them into profitable spaces such as shopping malls, parking lots, etc. In a library, Horacio and Alicia, two library users who are very different from each other, leave a recording in which they ask their friends (a role played by the audience) to follow their steps as they investigate a disturbing message they have received – which appears to have been sent by the library itself: it finds itself in grave danger, faced with immediate closure, and asks for help from users. The clues lead them to make contact with an organization called “The Utopian International” as well as embarking on their search for “The Book” which contains instructions on how they can save the library. The clues are found in a series of texts in the library and in various objects that the friends (participants/audience) find along their way. In the course of the work the public cross paths with mysterious characters who roam the library. Some are members of the “International Utopista” organization, while others are inspectors who want to close the library. The spectators/participants’ journey is an utopian-fantastic trip through the universe of the library, its books and characters. “Utopia – interactive experience for libraries” is an interactive sound performance in an unconventional space. It is set in libraries and consists of an experience for a group of 2 spectators who, using headphones, listen to a fictional character who gives them instructions to follow. The spectators are guided by this audio voice and led to discover clues in different books, illustrations, objects, etc. as well as meeting enigmatic characters in the library.   This work received the award “Premio a la Creación y Producción Teatral Independiente – Convocatoria a las Artes Escénicas 2017“, the incentive fund “Fondo Estímulo a la Actividad Teatral Cordobesa – EDICIÓN 2017/18” and the production subsidy 2018 from the National Theatre Institute   Aimed at a young/adolescent and adult audience.   Presentations: – Library “Biblioteca Popular Arturo Orgaz” within the programm of Ciclo INTervenciones Escénicas “A cielo abierto”, organized by the National Theatre Institute INT, Córdoba (Arg.).

PaLePo – Paseos de Lecturas Posibles (PaLePo – Walks of Possible Readings) Group audiotour that takes the city as text (2019 – …)   “PaLePo – Paseos de lecturas posibles” is a group audiotour that consists of an itinerant sound work through different areas of a city. During these walks we invite the public to discover the city as text. To read it and find stories, myths, narratives and enter the game of possible readings of this text. We aim to sensitize participants to open their eyes to details and discover the theatrical potential of everyday life and thus change the perception of their environment. So far, two walks were created and carried out in the city of Cordoba, one through the city centre and the other through the neighbourhood of Alberdi.   Aimed at young and adult audiences.   This project was conceived and realized for the “Festival de la Palabra” (“Festival of the Word”) and the VIII International Congress of the Spanish Language in Córdoba, Argentina, 2019.   Presentations: – Book Fair of Córdoba.
