Dramaturgy of oblivion in The Sea: a vision of children who have never seen it . A meeting with playwright and director Alberto Conejero, who spoke with journalist Daniel Galindo about the dramaturgy process and creation of the theatrical work, focusing on The Sea: a vision of children who have never seen it , one of the most acclaimed plays of the last year, which was performed at the Teatro Abadía from December 13 to 23 and whose book of the same name (Ediciones Antígona) was presented at this same event.

In the autumn of 1934, the young Catalan teacher Antoni Benaiges arrived at the rural school in Bañuelos de Bureba, a small village in Burgos. A few months later, he paid out of his own pocket for a gramophone and a rudimentary printing press. From that first year onward, the children wrote and printed their emotions, dreams, and thoughts. In January 1936, *The Sea: A Vision of Children Who Have Never Seen It* was published. The small book "contains, in verse rather than prose, the expressions of the schoolchildren of how they imagine the sea, their fears, and their dreams." None of the children had ever seen the sea. The teacher promised them that he would take them to Catalonia that very summer so they could experience it. On July 25, 1936, Benaiges was executed. The teacher's promise could never be fulfilled.

Since its premiere in February 2022 at the Teatre Nacional de Catalunya, more than 20.000 spectators have seen “The sea: vision of some children who have never seen it”, a theatrical piece that moves between object theatre and the word, between documentary theatre and fiction.
