Storytelling is at the heart of his style, using elements from comedy, thriller or melodrama, a vibrating rhythm, and an unabashed influence from other media, like television and cinema. The critics have described his work as multidisciplinary, eclectic, and very concerned in narrative structure and plot. He’s currently considered one of the most innovative and versatile theatre voices in Spain. Guillem Clua holds a degree in Journalism from the Autonomous University of Barcelona (Spain) and started his writing training at the London Guildhall University (UK) in 1994. The play narrates in a farcical tone the adventures of the President and his delegation, who are confronted with surrealist situations as they meet with delegates from different nations in their attempt to ensure their future as a people and as a family. The action is set at an indeterminate time in the future at the UN headquarters, where representatives of the Republic of Malvati, whose territory has almost disappeared due to climate change, ask their counterparts for an island in order to found a new land. On the 30 and 31 of March, Guillem Clua will held two workshops with high school students (at Cervantes Institute) and students of the Play-writing section at The National University of Theatre and Film. The reading takes place in the presence of the author and will be followed by discussions with the audience.
