Güímar is on the verge of hosting a groundbreaking theatre performance: “Astronauts”, an inclusive street show where a team of seven explorers embarks on a journey to unlock the mysteries of the world around them. This pioneering project not only involves three professional actresses but also individuals with disabilities who have joined after taking part in theatre workshops provided by the company.

Written and directed by Brian Rodríguez, a talented actor and director from Tenerife, “Astronauts” aims to promote inclusion in the Archipelago, highlight diversity, challenge stereotypes, and advocate for equal opportunities through the transformative nature of theatre: “One small step for individuals, one giant leap for mankind”, in essence. The storyline prompts the audience to explore their surroundings and search for answers not only externally but also internally.

Pioneering Inclusivity in Tenerife

To bring this vision to fruition, the organisers of the company have been diligently working since the start of the year to establish the first inclusive street theatre ensemble in Tenerife.

Through regular theatre workshops, the aim is to provide a platform for individuals with diverse abilities to nurture their artistic skills. This groundbreaking initiative in making the performing arts accessible plans to continue offering specialised workshops and training in September and to extend the “Astronauts” tour throughout 2024 and 2025.

The production has received unwavering support from the social department of the Güímar Town Hall since its inception, facilitated by the departments of Social Services and Equality, with the endorsement of council member José Miguel Hernández Fernández, who has shown solidarity with the project from the outset. “It’s imperative to amplify events like this that raise awareness and foster empathy,” he expresses to this publication.

Overcoming Disability Barriers

Lirio Mosqueda, a graduate in Dramatic Arts and a key figure in the company, aims to captivate the public on the streets. “Our goal is for the audience to appreciate and celebrate these individuals, recognising both their differences and similarities,” she elaborates.

According to Mosqueda, the objective is to break through the “fourth barrier of disability”. “We strive to broaden the perspective of Canarian society”. Mosqueda, an accomplished actress within this initiative, also has a disability and believes that “diversity is the essence of magic”. “We firmly believe in the possibility of shifting perspectives,” she asserts.

The actress reflects on the prejudices present in the acting world and the challenges faced in training, integrating, and showcasing diversity within this subsector. “There is a lack of training specifically tailored for individuals with disabilities. Embracing diversity signifies an opportunity and a source of hope for many. Some individuals face apprehensions and obstacles when attempting to access traditional training,” she explains, with the intent of instigating change.
