Abstract
This paper is the transcript of the conference given by Carlus Padrissa, one of the founding members of the theater company “La Fura dels Baus”, on April 26, 2012, as part of the Conference Cycle “Theatre and Cyberculture” organized at the University of Granada. In his speech Padrissa presents the beginnings of La Fura, which was founded in 1979 as a group of street theater, to break strongly in the Spanish theater stage a few years later with the show Accions. Describing the company’s search process of an own scenic language, he emphasizes the influence of musical movements of the time, and the incorporation of new technologies that characterize La Fura performances. Finally, Padrissa analyzes the process of producing a Stokhausen’s opera entitled Sonntag aus Licht, and ends the conference by mentioning the use of the latest discoveries of robotics in the creative process of La Fura dels Baus.
