"

"Teatro MÁS" is made up of six users of the Foundation and three professional actors who in this work deal with the theme of human fears from the perspective of a child that acts as the guiding thread of a journey between the tragic and the comic, between the dream and reality, and that takes the spectator by the hand to the entrails of the human being.

"I need you, come" is the mysterious message that the child finds in a postcard and with which the adventure begins.

Although the sender is unknown, the child's heart identifies him as a family member and thus embarks on a journey in search of the author with the decision and lack of temerity proper to his age.

The "MÁS" Company started as a therapeutic theater workshop aimed at the users of Jesus Abandoned in which the participants exposed life situations and worked in the search for tools to get by, such as disinhibition when speaking in public, expression of emotions, verbal communication or face fear and prejudice.

The evolution of the participants led them to create this company that in its three years of life has launched two more shows: "Confessions" (2015) and "1, 2, 3, 4, ... LOVE" (2016) , in addition to the own "Postcards for a child" that has already been represented at the Párraga Center, the Romea Theater and the Circus Theater of Murcia.

For the creation of "Postcards for a child" the interpreters underwent a process of personal inquiry where the actors recognized and shared "their personal fears, which at the same time were universal fears, that is where the team of psychologists came into play, therapists and coach to create a safety net for each individual, "said the director of the work.

All the theater activity of Jesus Abandoned is aimed at raising awareness to improve the opportunities of people in situations of exclusion or at risk of being.

In addition, "through artistic expression, the recovery of participants is promoted by helping them develop their social skills and their status has been pointed out by Galera." Fundación Jesús Abandonado develops its work in the Region of Murcia together with the San Juan de Dios Hospital Order to improve the living conditions of homeless people and accompany them in their integral recovery, in the line of offering "more than eating and sleeping".
