“Spectre” is an old electrical energy transformation plant that supplied the factories and workshops of industrial Poblenou. Frequencies that become the sound and light narrative that question the memory of what is no longer there.

Blinding darkness, retinal retention, subliminal perception, conceptual controversy, audiovisual synaesthesia, light brutalism, white darkness, sensory memory and complementary stimuli, among others, are concepts and tools used to create this visual poem, metaphor of a recent past.

Drinking from the fountains of North-American rationalist architecture, from Camarón de la Isla, the Lumière brothers, Bruce Nauman, Alvar Aalto and Jean Prouvé, new technologies, the Berlin scene, The Young Ones, Velvet, rumba and punk, Leonardo da Vinci and shantytowns (among many others), places us in a context.

 Performance, time codes, installation, scenic artefacts, new and old lighting systems, spatial dramaturgy, the law of gravity, mechanisms of perception, rotaflex and linguistics are some of our tools of creation. Radical simplicity and light brutalism are examples of our passions.

Trained in visual arts, theatre and architecture, our work is characterised by ongoing research in the fields of light, space and the objects that occupy them through a transgressive attitude that involves a positioning at the limits of paratheatre.

Amongst others, we have worked with General Electrica, Frederic Amat, the Doctor Alonso Society, Àlex Rigola, Marcel·lí Antúnez, Constanza Brncic, Agustí Fernández, Albert Pla, Standstill, La Fura dels Baus, Agrupació Senyor Serrano, Sílvia Pérez Cruz, Los Corderos, Cabosanroque, Sol Picó, Maria Arnal and Marcel Bagès, and Rosalía.
