La Grieta: the Webseries (2013)

The Crack (La Grieta) is a Spanish Web Series about the european social and economic crisis that uses both film and theatrical languages. The Crack, developed in six 5-minute long chapters and a epilogue, creates a space which combines the explicitness and concretion of film discourse with the implied, symbolic and abstract values of theatrical language. The result is a multilayered piece, with many possible readings, which intends to intensively involve the viewers. Three characters are playing when suddenly the ceiling begins to crack over their heads. The game and the bet are different in each chapter, and so is the context. From passiveness to hysteria, The Crack shows a wide range of possible reactions within a small social group to a similar situation of urgency and danger.
