Description
In this performance that integrates visual, dramatic, and sonic languages, Elvira and Pedro Ernesto carry out an adaptation of the original play "Koroneiki: a critical musical theater piece about the land and olive trees." In this performance, a critique of the current situation of super-intensive crops is approached from an ecological perspective, specifically focusing on the environment from which both artists originate, the southern region of Spain. The work we will present connects with various contexts around the world, highlighting monoculture areas, told from our own reality, that of the olive groves in the province of Jaén. From this point, we propose various reflections related to the lives of people in rural areas; sustainable farming, agriculture and labor, equality, biopolitics, and more.

In her yet short career, I’ve been able to participate in a few projects, like some short films for students or theater plays, whether for college tasks or independent projects, as the most recent one, “Koroneiki'' created and directed by Pedro Ernesto, where she had the luck to incarnate the lead character.
