Two ERAM alumni stage projects are part of Festival Z ’26
The new edition of Festival Z, taking place from July 8 to 11, will feature two projects led by alumni of the ERAM Degree in Performing Arts, further consolidating the presence of talent emerging from the school within the contemporary performing and live arts scene.
The selected projects are Punt i ratlla and De l’embolic al rastre, two proposals that will be part of the festival program and that exemplify the diversity of languages, formats, and perspectives that characterize the new generation of creators linked to ERAM.
- Punt i ratlla – Eric Remedios Vicente and Mercè Badia Pàmies (both ERAM alumni)
Final project of the Degree in Performing Arts – Esfera 2025 Showcase
Sala Acabats – El Canal – Center for Performing Arts Creation

It combines theatre, clowning, and physical theatre. It introduces two travel companions who become involved in a game of misunderstandings in a world where everything seems like smoke and darkness.
With their reality distorted by the invisible wall that separates them from the other, they try to find a way to reconnect and continue their journey.
Through body, rhythm, and humor, the performance explores the difficulties of communication and the need for the other as the only possible path forward.
We are very happy and grateful to Festival Z for trusting our project. “Punt i ratlla” is a work for all audiences. We wanted to create a piece that could be enjoyed by both children and adults. We invite everyone to come and laugh and have a good time.
- De l’embolic al rastre – Dolça Alcanyís (ERAM alumni) and Laia Picas
El Canal – Center for Performing Arts Creation

De l’embolic al rastre is a site-specific, itinerant performance proposal focused on community mediation in public space. A body made of bodies traces the path of memory. Rolling through corners.
The street becomes a nest of memory and a group of people crosses it, a tangle of intertwined legs and arms, with occasional heads emerging, moving forward as a collective body. It leaves a mark: a trail of gazes.
The participation of these two projects in the festival highlights the professional trajectory of the school’s alumni and strengthens the connection between emerging creation and cultural support and exhibition spaces in the region.
Festival Z has established itself as one of the key platforms for young and emerging creation, committed to contemporary, hybrid stage proposals and new artistic languages. The presence of projects linked to ERAM alumni reaffirms the school’s role as a space for training, experimentation, and promotion of contemporary artistic creation.
All the visual identity of Festival Z has been created by Martí Menéndez, ERAM alumni in Audiovisual communication and Multimedia Degree.
