ARTISTS 2019/2020
ORACLES is made up of a living and mutating community of artists with an incredible variety of profiles, keen to learn from each other. Nationalities, cultures, genders and ages mix and feed each other. Each one contributes their grain of sand. The projects are born and develop in our community in a natural and spontaneous way. How intrepid our artists? Live and create with genius, power and magic. Art is their life. And life, their art.

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. |

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. |

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." |
