Meanwhile, Itínera also organised theatre workshops. In 2014, Itìnera worked on Knots - Rules to Be Happily Unhappy, directed by Else Marie Laukvik, and presented at Festival of Women for Peace in 2015 and Teatro Casa de Artistas in Bogotá, Colombia. A recent project is the construction of a theatre in Mazunte, Mexico, a self-sustaining eco-construction based on the technique developed by the Earthship Biotecture Academy (USA). A self sustainable project that articulates artistic and environmental practises requires a physical space that doesn’t disturb the natural resources and that allows these goals to take shape in the life of our community.
