passion i.b.m.
Anyone would wonder: what on earth have engineering and theatre got in common? Well, an awful lot more than you think actually. Engineering is the means and theatre is the objective. That's what they've shown in Eibar for 28 yaers in a row; Juan Ortega, principal of the local engineering collage, has been the person who has enabled students to channel their passions into something tangible all these years. He has a graet love of theatre and rather than just leave it at that he set off on a climb that thankfully hasn't reached its peak yet. Helped by the 25 editions of Days of Theatre, the students have made constant advances over the years. Collaboration is the name of the game and desire is what gets the machinery going. The students themselves do the plays and take charge of all parts of the production.
They also bring the most spectacular plays hitting the boards both locally and not to the adequatly adopted collage in Eibar. They certainly need to do the engineering work necessary to put on such shows, and that's not to mention a masters in economics because it's nighon impossible to do what they do with the financial resources they've got. But not to complain, the group is a quality one, they're willing, and that mixed together with their passion makes for a really nice recipe.
Eibar, a small industrial city, has become a reference point in the world of theatre. It's a pleasure to go and act for an educated audience there thanks to the work done by these engineering students and a few patrons who are still looking to reach the top of that climb. When you look down on the industrial area from the slopes around Eibar, you have to wonder at others who have two, three and many times the resources as well as a workforce totally dedicated to the work at hand and yet are completely passionless, as if money was the only motivating force!?
It's as plain as the nose on your face that theatre is miles away from those quantities of money; that's certainly for sale.
