Jordi Casanovas’ #Coronavirusplays: Spanish and Catalan microtheatre in the framework of the Project COVID-19 LiTraPan

The outbreak of the SARS-CoV-2 and the diffusion of the COVID-19 disease had and still has a huge impact on the world's population. The pandemic has also psychological implications and online activities can help to support people experiencing its consequences. The project COVID-19 LiTraPan aims to contribute to meet the needs that emerged during the pandemic in the field of Humanistic Higher Education and Quality Assurance of distance learning. My line of research consists of the creation and study of corpora of works inspired and composed during the health emergency, and of their use for distance learning and discomfort management. In the first phase of development of the project, my choice fell on the Spanish and Catalan microtheatre production published online as a result of the initiative #Coronvirusplays, launched by the playwright Jordi Casanovas on 13 March 2020, which ran until 8 May 2020. In this contribution, I synthetize the first results of my investigation and distance learning activities in the framework of the COVID-19 LiTraPan project.
