The Goethe-Institut invites Paula Kläy, a Swiss author and playwright living in Germany, to participate in a seminar as part of the “Obrador d’Estiu” training cycle at the Sala Beckett in Barcelona (Carrer de Pere IV, 228-232).

The seminar is directed by playwright Alistair McDowall and is aimed at emerging playwrights from around the world. It focuses on contemporary dramatic writing and, this year, its central theme is “Only the lonely”: Isolation in the hyperconnected age.
This year, the other participants are Mateo Altez Rius (Uruguay), Caroline Bélisle (Canada), Marcos Caramés-Blanco (France), Luca Cardetta (Italy), Pau Coya (Catalonia/Balearic Islands), Kate Douglas (USA), Astrid Berg Hauge (Norway), Ella Kähärä (Finland), Naomi Obeng (Great Britain), Saúl Olarte (Spain), Roos Lisette Parmas (Estonia), and Nikolina Rafaj (Croatia).
Throughout the seminar, participants are invited to publicly present short works written on the proposed theme and developed during the seminar, in the form of a dramatic reading.
