It is a pilot test but it is already underway. This season the TNC launches the Dijous Forts, three Thursdays in which the attendance of young audiences (under 35 years old) will have a package for 12 euros that will offer the direct recording of a podcast, a drink and the performance of theater.
“Three works have been chosen that, although they are not aimed at a youth audience, do deal with topics that may interest young people,” explains the director of the TNC, Carme Portaceli. The initiative seeks to break the walls of audience classifications.
Today, for example, La festa, by Daniela Feixas, is released, aimed at a youth audience, which addresses the pornographic bombardment and the distortion of sexual reality suffered by new generations. A work that young people who have seen it also recommend that their parents see.
But the Dijous Forts initiative goes further, because it will be limited to the works on the bill, normally intended for all types of audiences, with a live podcast to prepare for the 7 p.m. performance, which will be recorded at 6:30 p.m.
The first Fort Thursday will be on November 30, with the performance of La madre de Frankenstein, by Almudena Grandes. The previous podcast, with the title “Literature and memory”, will be presented by Paula Carreras (Gent de merda, and Plaersdemavida, on Ràdio Primavera Sound) and Berta Gómez (Demasiadas mujeres, on Ràdio Primavera Sound, and founder of the magazine La Fronde ).
The other two Thursdays of this season will be celebrated on February 15, with the play Els Watson, by Laura Wade, and the podcast “Jane Austen and flower dresses”, presented by Marta Cava and Blanca Pujals. And on April 25, with the work The Criminals, by Ferdinand Bruckner, and the podcast “Justice and feminism”, by Alba Riera and Carla Vall i Duren.
A great plan for only 12 euros.
