A PLAY. WELL, TWO. Beckett's absurdity in the days of junk TV; the absurd comedy in an eternal groundhog day.

A BOYCOTT: TO BLACK FRIDAY. Share and create, instead of buying so much. It seems that consuming makes us happy, it is even recommended against depression…. but are we really sure about that? The “I want it all and I want it now” generates more dissatisfaction than happiness, not to mention energy-environmental expenditure.
Coinciding with the already blessed Black Friday, make change , organized by Greenpeace, is an event-festival that stands up to excessive waste and disposable consumerism promoting creative alternatives to consumerism.
How? For three days in 30 Spanish cities, there will be workshops to learn how to make toys with recycled materials, creams and cosmetics with natural products or to learn to read (and understand) labels , talks about planned obsolescence and life beyond plastic, clothing exchanges to renew your wardrobe without buying a single sock (and to clean your house of clothes and condensed energy), concerts, performances, games for children and documentaries for adults , some as interesting as El camino de la carne or Why We Cycle.
