During the high summer season of 2025, Iris Jacobs was fortunate to perform at two wonderful theaters in Madrid: La Valiente and ! Iris had the privilege to play Ivana, an autistic woman, in “Calma Tensa,” a piece written and directed by Majo Cordonet with Madrilonika Lab. Throughout the performances on July 4, 5, and 6, she learned so much from the process and the incredible energy of the audiences. They responded with great enthusiasm to this intense, moving, and emotional piece of physical theatre. It was a deeply enriching experience for all involved and one that stayed with us long after the final curtain. A new theatre family is born, more to come!
