Kavli HUMAN Project Documentary

Video created by Laia Cabrera & Co.
Shot in New York, Boston and Washington DC.

"Until now, large-scale longitudinal studies of people have been focused on specific domains of inquiry or subsets of the population, providing detailed catalogs of important but narrow aspects of human health and behavior, such as cardiovascular health or financial decision making. Thanks to the support of The Kavli Foundation, the Kavli HUMAN Project (KHP) will be the first true study of all of the factors that make humans... human. The KHP capitalizes on recent advances in technology and data analytics to gather information on individuals across a broad array of domains—neuroscience, genetics, medicine, psychology, economics, sociology, and urban informatics—over an extended period of time. This approach will yield the first “360-degree view” of the dynamic patterns and feedback mechanisms between human behavior, biology, and environment across the lifespan in a single group of subjects. A new comprehensive view of how these forces interact will enable the development of theories, therapeutics, and policies that improve the health and quality of human life." Kavli HUMAN Project

Ronensbourgh Multimedia Theater Play, 2015

Ronensbourgh | May 21 to June 7, 2015 | IATI Theater
Written by Beatriz Cabur - Directed by Ignacio García-Bustelo
A place—a proposed utopian solution to all society’s problems.
The Heiber family lives in a world that’s rapidly crumbling, plagued by flawed and outdated social and political models. Meanwhile a group of aristocrats, led by Helmut Ronen, is creating the perfect city as the answer to all society’s problems: RONENSBOURGH.
Ronensbourgh is a very contemporary and highly experimental piece, written in a Heiner Müller’s style (no stage directions. No formatting. SOME CAPITAL LETTERS THAT SEEM RANDOM BUT THEY’RE NOT). The play possesses relevant questions about identity, society and home; about the conception of those ideas, and the dislodging of the very things our society holds as important.

Cast: Claudio Bandini - Mateo Franco - Sara Gozalo - Begonya Plaza - Francisco Reyes

Trailer for our latest play "Night" with NSTC

trailer produced by Laia Cabrera & Co. / http://youtu.be/etG89hUZnBI

Our latest Projection Design and Visuals for the world premiere of "Night (Thyestes 2.0)" written by Charles L. Mee, a production of The New Stage Theatre Company. Inspired by Seneca's Thyestes, the piece combines sections of the classic tale with an equally dark modern vision. A whirlwind of vivid scenes bridges the torture, murder and cannibalism dogging ill-fated Tantalus to modern plagues both frightening and banal, from war crimes to YouTube vapidity. This world premiere performance brings a bold mix of standout projection design and visuals, choreography, costuming, lighting and sound to Mee’s rhapsodic vision, resulting in a night of wonderfully disorienting theatre.
