The artistic endeavour DRAMA! searches for new paths between music, word and movement, while incorporating the current technological advances available. This inevitably leads to a rethinking of compositional methods and a broadening of the interpretive range of musicians, who, since the second half of the twentieth century have not only had to adapt to greater technical demands at their instrument, but have also seen their role as a performer change within the context of a more multidisciplinary approach to the arts. Driven by these goals and this new concept of the interpreter, DRAMA! aspires to invigorate young emerging artists, providing them with a platform to experiment and develop their individual artistic perspective.
