Laurie Chéoux

French by birth, Spanish at heart and Asian in spirit. With a multidisciplinary profile and ying yang runnning through her veins. She defines it with words such as "energy balance", "fair measure", "harmony". She dedicates part of her time to Feng Shui, an ancient Chinese art that seeks to create harmony between man and nature in living spaces. In this way, she transformed the Oracles theatre into a balanced and expansive energy space, tuning in to artists, audiences and teams in order to give an invisible touch of "that which is here is well".

Her mother being a piano teacher and father a painter, she evolved through the world of dance since very young. She developed into photography, touring part of the Asian continent with a backpack, observing and soaking up Eastern wisdom. She graduated in Japanese language, lived in Osaka before Barcelona, and learned the techniques of traditional Thai massage in Bangkok. Despite being an executive in a multinational, she looks at life from a philosophical angle, because the world needs it.

Marion Tamme de Aquista

Multidisciplinary artist. Coming from dance and performance, from physical theatre, theatre-tango ... Life led her to fusion with the plastic arts. Her passion is to connect and combine. Textures, materials, styles, disciplines, people and worlds. She is a real spider!

Her art lies with the state of being open. Observe, let it grow allowing the natural movement of the works to be expressed through her hands, body and voice. She is artist-resident of NauART, Community of Artists and director of “DialogARTE. Space for artistic fusion” at ORACLES Theatre. She is fascinated by artistic fusion and opening portals between disciplines.

Marta Fiol emphasises in her work not only the search for her own sound and the connections between body, breath, voice, emotions and text, but also the development of creativity, pleasure in the expression of singing and vocal improvisation, stage presence and communication with the public.

Interpreter of contemporary music, she has released countless works by different composers and has collaborated with numerous record labels.

Her comic side has led her to train in clowning and create stage recitals involved in the diffusion of vocal repertoire in a humorous key.

Míriam Ruíz

Barcelona. Graduated in Audiovisual Communication. She discovered the theatre when she was very young and soon fell in love with it. Since then, she has trained in various schools of drama, going through different interpretive methods. Following her artistic streak, she also became interested in other disciplines, making small corporal, musical and dance formations.

Teresa Estévez Rodríguez

Cultural shaker. Chain reader. Facilitator of the tantric world.

Enjoying the word, the experiences and the people, she decides to stop doing sofa activism and nourish herself in the role of manager and cultural agitator. In the world of the arts these elements must come together to enjoy what is stirring.

They say of her that she keeps her good education and loses her critical thinking. She does not tolerate a lack of honesty and bad manners. They liken her to a bird that carries seeds from one place to another. She firmly believes in the responsible consumption of base culture and works hard for it. She is not a sweetheart but she knows how to pamper those who accompany her on the journey of life because she is a direct disciple of the ethics of care.

I found myself in not finding myself, because I am a seeker of emotions.

Tommaso Morroni

He made his first steps in the audiovisual world upon finishing his degree in Contemporary History, seeking to leave academic objectivism. He loves history and stories, both non-fiction and fiction; researching and recounting them. Through analog and digital photography techniques, he approached photojournalism and from there documentary.

He has made a documentary about a social project in Senegal, & currently collaborates in various audiovisual projects between the cities of Barcelona and Pisa.

Víctor Jordà

Designer of unusual lighting solutions, music lover, hypersensitive and devourer of small format theatre.

An architect by training, Víctor departed from the world of traditional architecture to pursue his artistic concerns, finally answering an internal call. A new era of experimentation opens ...

He landed by chance at the Oracles Theatre in October 2019 and there he discovered the close, spiritual family, and at the same time nonconformist and transgressor that he was looking for. For this reason, he did not hesitate to accept the proposal to join the team.

Sometimes you will see him as technician at the lighting console or behind the designs of most of the theatre's posters.

Vicenç Vernet Pons

He has followed the acting training courses and the master's degree of Víctor Ormazábal, director of the “Olifanttakeover Theatre” in Amsterdam: acting technique of the 'grotesque' in the experience of the character, cabaret as theatrical expression and choreography of space. For two years he has presented his small format artistic works (poetic recital, theatrical monologue of a single character, cabaret performance) in different venues in Barcelona: Sinestesia, Oracles Theatre, Atelier Güell, Inusual Project, Mostra de Teatre del Center Cívic Drassanes i Ateneu l'Harmonia.

He has created his own theatre company KABARET SAIGON. He considers the genre of Cabaret as his own personal theatrical expression. He follows the masters Lindsay Kemp, Leo Bassi, Copy, Mary Santpere, Paulovski, among others. He shares the idea of the popular variety show as it had been done at the Paral·lel in Barcelona in 'El Molino', where the audience was key, with star actors such as Madame Arthur, Johnson, Lita Claver 'La Maña' or Merche Marde.

"When I go up on stage to do anything and interact receptively with the audience, magic occurs. I look for that dialogue, that provocation and feedback. And that's what I offer as an actor."
