The drama takes place in a local rubbish dump. The protagonists are gypsies precariously established in Belgrado’s sorroundings. The conflic arises not because of the throne but the control over the remains of urban life. A cast integrated, mostly, by non-professional actors gives life to a tragedy that radically changes sign.

ShowsTeatro del AbastoSantillán works on texts by Esquilo, to tell us about political affiliations in our own country; it will make us think about it, and also, about the impossibility of undergoing tragedies in a world that has no more myths. Augusto Pontoni will be the main character in this story, interpreting a man who used to be very powerful, but that now has to keep a low profile, since he is in risk of being eliminated by his own colleges.

ShowsTeatro AnfitriónA group of members of some more commercial than traditional religion, take a train at Constitución station towards the Atlantic coast to take part in a spiritual meeting. This idea is the excuse that uses Piel de Lava to put on stage a performance that is highly supported by the drama of the actresses, while a multimedia device contributes with dynamism by the projecting the road through the window.
Out
Buenos Aires / Argentina: Alguien próximo
ShowsBeckett TeatroAlguien próximo is a sort of experiment on the relationship between the closeness and that which doesn´t belong to us, as an unavoidable duality existing when two bodies meet. This play presents the body as an interrogation, as the unprecedented: that thing we still don´t know anything about. This becomes more suggestive when another body appears, thus causing an inevitable difference just by being there . The closeness of the bodies will imply receiving the “other”, entering in contact with him, getting involved by feelings, taking care and accepting each other as acts of pure responsibility, openness, and devotion.

Staging: Charles Rees
Production design: Jocelyn Herbert
Cast : Nicol Williamson, Judy Parfitt, Anthony Hopkins, Marianne Faithfull, Mark Dignam, Michael Pennington, Gordon Jackson, Ben Aris, Anjelica Huston
Because of the Roundhouse Theatre’s production, Williamson was considered the best Hamlet since Gielgud.

Not much remembered outside his own country (where he is considered a cult director), Erksan was one of the first turkish film-makers in accusing the influence of modern european films.

Buenos Aires / Argentina: Dúo para ella sola
ShowsEl cuboStarting right from the title, the play shows us something complex. What can a duo for a sole woman mean?

This linguistic contradiction shall be solved through the use of a technical device, and why not, even a scientific element.

Great Britain, 155 minutes
Direction: Laurence Olivier
Adaptation: Laurence Olivier
Production: Laurence Olivier
Cinematography: Desmond Dickinson
Staging: Helga Cranston
Art direction: Carmen Dillon
Music: William Walton
Cast: Laurence Olivier, Jean Simmons, Eileen Herlie, Basil Sydney, Norman Wooland, Felix Aylmer, Terence Morgan, Anthony Quayle, Esmond Knight and John Laurie
Not just because of the time in which this production was carried out , Olivier’s work constitutes without a doubt, the version of classic films. As such, the dramatics of this work aims at clarifying the psychology and motivation of the characters. The celebrated decision of substituting the soliloquies for monologues in off was, in that context, inevitable.
Gante / Bélgica: Patchagonia
ShowsTeatro Presidente AlvearCharles Darwin's stories about Patagonia, or those of Billy the Kid, are the basis for this argentine choreographer, living in Belgium, to create this performance. It has a strong beckettian influence, where this particular space thrown to the outskirts of the world, appears to be an ideal place to slow down, to wait for something. This is an absolutely stylized version of our geography and our folklore rhythms, interpreted by Les Ballets C. de la B.

San Miguel de Tucumán / Argentina: Il fait mauvais… llueve
ShowsPatio de ActoresIl fait mauvais… llueve is marked by a playful spirit, to such an extent that not only the title is in French, but almost all the performance is spoken in that language, sometimes accompanied by simultaneous translations. From the very beginning, the audience knows that there is no story to look for. Because, what this company does is to build, by working with both languages, a third language that is pure materiality, thus leaving the semantic part drastically in a second place.

Unfortunately, due to the lack of preservation’s policies of TV files , just a few fragments of the show remained. This was thanks to a private collector.

The drama takes place in a local rubbish dump. The protagonists are gypsies precariously established in Belgrado’s sorroundings. The conflic arises not because of the throne but the control over the remains of urban life. A cast integrated, mostly, by non-professional actors gives life to a tragedy that radically changes sign.

Hamlet CameraHarrodsGamlet (1964)
USSR, 140 minutes
Direction: Grigori Kozintsev
Translation: Boris Pasternak
Script: Grigori Kozintsev
Cinematography: Jonas Gritsius
Staging : Ye Makhankova
Production design: Yevgeni Yenej
Music: Dmitri Shostakovich
Cast: Innokenti Smoktunovsky, Mikhail Nazvanov, Elza Radzina, Yuri Tolubeyev, Anastasiya Vertinskaya, Vadim Medvedev, Vladimir Erenberg and Stepan Oleksenko
Widely considered one of the most powerful and accurate versions of Shakespearean tragedies, the high contrast photography, the tough landscape and Shostakovich’s music in Gamlet constitutes an abominable and decadent space, without the need of adopting a naturalist code so that the film results in “cinematographic”.

Once again, a female Hamlet though this time, it is a Hamlet who plays with the avant-garde until turning tragedy into a hilarious pop cocktail, musical included. Not much remembered outside his own country (where he is considered a cult director), Erksan was one of the first turkish film-makers in accusing the influence of modern european films.

ShowsEl Portón de SánchezThis is a “documentary play” where the artists use the secret files that the Communist government kept between 1975 and 1983, detailing information about themselves , their contacts and friends. This information is linked to some personal mails that the artists themselves wrote at that time. There are moments of a very painful confessional atmosphere. Los expedientes, which presents extremely painful testimonials, puts on stage a complex aesthetic and political universe where we are confronted with a harsh truth of which we are all part of.

México df/ México: Are you really lost?
ShowsTeatro San Martín - Sala Martín CoronadoAre you really Lost? is a performance where bodies and light, which has a leading role, combine music, poetry and movement, with a clear purpose of thinking about human being in relation to its existence , its fears and anxieties, caused by the contemporary world. The fact of having defined the title in English, which is taken from an album of a Chilean musician residing in Germany, definitely puts globalization in a very first place.

Buenos Aires / Argentina: Alguien próximo
ShowsBeckett TeatroAlguien próximo is a sort of experiment on the relationship between the closeness and that which doesn´t belong to us, as an unavoidable duality existing when two bodies meet. This play presents the body as an interrogation, as the unprecedented: that thing we still don´t know anything about. This becomes more suggestive when another body appears, thus causing an inevitable difference just by being there . The closeness of the bodies will imply receiving the “other”, entering in contact with him, getting involved by feelings, taking care and accepting each other as acts of pure responsibility, openness, and devotion.

Great Britain, 155 minutes
Direction: Laurence Olivier
Adaptation: Laurence Olivier

Cinematography: Desmond Dickinson
Staging: Helga Cranston
Art direction: Carmen Dillon
Music: William Walton
Cast: Laurence Olivier, Jean Simmons, Eileen Herlie, Basil Sydney, Norman Wooland, Felix Aylmer, Terence Morgan, Anthony Quayle, Esmond Knight and John Laurie
Not just because of the time in which this production was carried out , Olivier’s work constitutes without a doubt, the version of classic films. As such, the dramatics of this work aims at clarifying the psychology and motivation of the characters. The celebrated decision of substituting the soliloquies for monologues in off was, in that context, inevitable.

Cast : Nicol Williamson, Judy Parfitt, Anthony Hopkins, Marianne Faithfull, Mark Dignam, Michael Pennington, Gordon Jackson, Ben Aris, Anjelica Huston
Because of the Roundhouse Theatre’s production, Williamson was considered the best Hamlet since Gielgud. Scholars agree that Gielgud and Burton were the last two colossal actors to play this role in the 20th Century. In the film version the phlegmatic Anthony Hopkins coexists with the bloody Marianne Faithfull.

Because this “one man show for a man in a wheelchair,” as defined by the authors, is a detailed description and narration of a road movie genre film being shot and projected through its words and gestures.
