Rocio Bernal and Pepe Galera, both graduates from ESAD in Murcia, have been professionally dedicated to theatre ever since.

In search of change and artistic evolution we traveled to Paris, to the Ecole International Phillippe Gaulier. After two years, a new artistic perspective emerged in us. We discovered the beauty and magic that hides behind all the actor's masks: The power of reach of the actor in essence, as well as the need as creators and actors to take risks and launch into the unknown.

Upon our return, in addition to continuing to work for other companies, we increasingly felt the need to delve into that artistic perspective through essence, play and that powerful vulnerability.

From this need, Deconné Co. was born.

 

Deconned is a phonetic transcription of the French word Deconner which means to cross the line; to screw up; to let go of control; to play… And this is Cía. Deconné: From our most imperfect being, taking the risk of making mistakes, crossing the line of what we already know and control, in order to discover what is on the other side… always through theatrical play.

We base our work on four fundamental principles: essence, complicity, play and scenic pleasure.

In our creative processes we are not only open to the unforeseen and unexpected, but we seek it out and provoke it in order to leave the realm of the known, we we put at risk so that the beauty and magic of the human being in a state of vulnerability can emerge, without acquired forms or learned resources. The actor in essence and from there… play.

Deconné Company is firmly based on the belief in the transformative power of performing arts in society, putting people with and without disabilities on stage so that they can be heard by the public.

The current moment makes it necessary, more than ever, to be aware of diversity and social plurality. Knowing other realities broadens our world, and makes us see that, paradoxically, from our own particularities, people are not so different.

Someone once said that art exists because sometimes life is not enoughFrom the stage we aim to continue showing other vital perspectives expressed with honesty and authenticity with the intention of provoking an encounter with the public from the unique realities of each one, making them dream and awakening our most abstract, imperfect and sublime side.
