A space devoted to support, experimentation and stage research, where theatre companies can find refuge and mistakes are allowed, the Nau Ivanow is celebrating its 25th anniversary. And it's doing so by bringing Barcelona's Grec Festival a new edition of its Èxit Conferences.
Anyone who comes to the Nau Ivanow these days and registers in advance will be able to attend a series of talks, generically entitled "Reflection and exchange on artistic support and support for projects. Emotions and gestures for accompanying the survival of the inexplicable", during which there will be discussions on creations and support for the central artists involved in them. The sessions will be run by the curators, managers and cultural researchers Isla Aguilar and Miguel Oyarzun.
The sessions will be held in the afternoon on 8 July and throughout the day on 9 and 10 July as follows:
