Se respira en el jardín como en un bosque (You can breathe in the garden as in the woods) is a show for one person only. The observer alternately occupies the role of both performer and spectator through two elementary gestures typical of the performing arts: acting and observing in silence while someone performs actions on stage.
Starting from this primary theatrical convention that has lasted for hundreds of years, El Conde de Torrefiel proposes a scenic game woven from a narrative and supported by simple movements.
Guided by an audio in headphones, each participant gives life to an individual performance of self-theatre: they perform elementary actions, then sit down and observe who will come after them. In this flow between doing and watching, a space for reflection opens up on the reality that surrounds us, on our ability to shape it and on the silent pleasure of contemplating, as in the theatre, the artifice of the world we have created.
IN A NUTSHELL
“Se respira en el jardin come en un bosque” is an intimate theatrical experience for an individual, where each participant becomes, in turn, actor and spectator in a silent game of gestures, glances and reflections guided by headphones.

El Conde de Torrefiel is a project born in Barcelona in 2010, founded by Tanya Beyeler and Pablo Gisbert. Since then, they have produced twelve theatrical works and eight site-specific stage productions. Through theatre, music, performance and video, they explore the relationship between reality and imagination, between rationality and symbolism. Their most recent works focus on the 21st century, investigating the connection between the personal and the political, new forms of totalitarianism and individual freedom. Their creations have been presented in theatres and festivals in America, Asia and especially in Europe, including the Kunstenfestivaldesarts in Brussels, the Wiener Festwochen in Vienna, the Festival d’Automne in Paris, the GREC Festival in Barcelona, the Short Theater in Rome, the MMCA in Seoul, the Museo del Chopo in Mexico City, the Festival Transámerique in Montreal and the Festival d’Avignon.
