La llenya escalfa dues vegades (Firewood Heats Twice). Guiu/Laia Gimeno Bardis, Laura Roig

La llenya escalfa dues vegades is a performance that revolves around a traditional wood splintering competition that is held each year in our village to commemorate all those people who worked and lived in the forests: the foresters.

A remake of the competition framed within the desire to learn more about this rural festivity as a driver for contemporary creation by transferring oral narration languages to performative ones in order to explain the tales of our grandparents from their own corporealities. Corporealities traversed by a multitude of violences that tradition itself has perpetuated.

Guiu/Laia Gimeno Bardis & Laura Roig are two lifelong friends who decided to work together to explore the possibility of a dialogue between their contemporaneity and the popular folklore of their village. Their first piece, Galop de Panderetes (2022), premiered at Hangar and was reprogrammed at the Rihihiu festival.
