Summary: 
Societat Doctor Alonso, a stage company directed by Tomás Aragay (theatre director and playwright) and Sofía Asencio (dancer and choreographer), presents Hammamturgia, their latest stage production which reflects on “hammamturgia”, understood as the other part of dramaturgy.
When doing research, the company has always worked with the “open code” idea. As stated by Societat Doctor Alonso: “We work with internal guidelines or rules conceptually delimited through practice. When developed, they appear before the audience as a liminal space, whereby reception is both dark and open at the same time. The audience undergoes a state of uncertainty, since comprehension of the work appears somewhat encrypted by that code.”
In this sense, a series of research parameters are set in the project to generate again a new internal code. “A code revolving around the ideas of hammamturgy and atmosphere, that will need to include sufficient variables to be legible by the audience, whilst leaving space for their imagination” as explained by the company.
