Artemis

Science fiction is Diana's refuge where she can combat the threats of planet Earth. Her father disappeared when she was little, her mother is increasingly distant and she feels an existential void that can only be filled with her passion: cinema. Her dream of becoming a scriptwriter will stretch beyond the bounds of reality, and she’ll discover that lying —with her characteristic cleverness, insight and humour— will enable her to get the love she desperately needs.

It is a fun, original and moving story about the complexity of family relations, the search for a self to find a place in the world and taking the responsibility that comes with entering adulthood.

The work sprang from the artistic need of Mireia Morera —a young playwright, composer and performer who uses different aesthetics and themes along with many performance and artistic disciplines, often with humour and always casting a critical eye on the system— to explore discourse as a creator.
