El Eje

El Eje are three actresses: Mar Pawlowsky, Eric Balbàs and Maria Hernández Giralt.

This headless condition inspires our own poetics and internal politics, pushing our creative energy to join forces with other artists and head for new territory every time, and so claiming our promiscuous nature.

We gave birth to the company in 2013 to take ownership of creation by building our own means of production.

Our view of the theatre profession is shaped by having started from the bottom, doing the hard work.

Together we have put up 13 plays and one film to tell stories that grow on the margins, with broken characters written in lower case.

Our theatre is dirty, committed and raw, and it pivots on actor-driven dramaturgy. Devoted to cunning, fragile and fierce performance, never forgetting that people are, and must be, at the centre of all creation.
