There, she discovered Tjarnarbíó, in icelandic: <em>the theatre over the pond</em>; the independent theatre house in Iceland. It is probably the most Icelandic venue in the capital: magic and unique, with great dreams, a wish to open their house to international artists, and a huge attraction for new experiments and challenges. Always trying to create bridges in the artistic world around the planet, the Company has found in it an undeniable opportunity to collaborate and exchange.</p> <p>  </p> <p> Aware of the challenge of bringing such a project in Iceland, we then decided to contact all the other small venues of the capital to be able to perform almost everyday in Reykajvík, during the three weeks the team will be complete. <strong>Every night with a different show</strong>, every evening sharing and interacting with new artists, audiences and other elements, enjoying every moment to exchange languages, points of view, ideas, concerns, dreams and hopes.</p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="13241685_10154199598619105_708243770_o-1463941728" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/319486/13241685_10154199598619105_708243770_o-1463941728.jpg"></p> <p> <em>             </em>view from Tjarnarbíó theatre, Reykjavík</p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <em>Dracula's Pack</em> is conceived as a <strong>construction game</strong> in all aspects of its composition. </p> <p> The show starts when the audience enters the building and will be handed a question paper with multiple choices that will affect the whole performance, from the creation of the characters to the show's final moment, making <strong>each performance unique</strong>.</p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="10-1463071289" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/315634/10-1463071289.jpg"></p> <p> <em><em>             </em>Monk'ments</em>, Doble Quartet - 2013</p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> In parallel to the creation process, we will organize activities such as workshops, interventions, concerts, improvisations and happenings in the Tjarnarbio theatre in Reykjavik and other venues.</p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="304" src="//cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2FxyIXPcjPwCM%3Fwmode%3Dopaque%26feature%3Doembed&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DxyIXPcjPwCM&amp;image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FxyIXPcjPwCM%2Fhqdefault.jpg&amp;key=ff2702755d9749cda571c6d6c2f3eb46&amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;schema=youtube" width="540"></iframe></p> <p> <em>       DCode - BCN </em>- 2011</p> <p>    (interpretation: Juliette Louste - composition: Toni Vaquer)</p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> Our vision is that Art is one of the most powerful weapons to make us connect with our true/inner-selves.
