Buenos Aires / Argentina: Obra lumínica

Obra Lumínica

Obra lumínica is an arbitrary as well as a fussy proposal. This is the gathering of the work of a group of artists who perform with lights; however, they are most of the time, paradoxically, invisible. This performance also allows the coexistence, in the same theatre, of small-format plays, where light has a leading role.

Great Britain, 210 minutes

Direction: Rodney Bennett

Edition: Dave Hillier
Production Desing: Don Homfray
Music: Dudley Simpson
Cast: Derek Jacobi, Claire Bloom, Patrick Stewart, Eric Porter, Lalla Ward, David Robb, Patrick Allen, Robert Swann, Jonathan Hyde, Geoffrey Bateman and Emrys James

In 1978, the BBC posed itself the challenge of giving a television register to the complete works of William Shakespeare. The different productions kept loyal to the original texts and counted on prestigious actors in the leading roles. There is no doubt that it is didactic television, but still in a model that is worth contemplating.

Seoul / Corea: Hotel Splendid

Hotel Splendid

Though the Cho-In Theatre Company has never used words before in its works, this play uses the words of the American poet and playwrighter who, with passion and poetry, tells the story of 200,000 women–most of them Korean–who were taken prisoners as sexual slaves by the Japanese army during World War II. This play is a tribute to all these women who, still today, want to be recognized and need to tell the world all the atrocities they have lived.

Buenos Aires / Argentina: The victory to La Madrecita

The Victory To La Madrecita

The play is about La Madrecita; a girl from the northern part of the country ,who is said to have special miraculous powers, and her untiring sister. While one lives having visions all the time, fighting against the eventual visits of the devil, and receiving pilgrims; the other one dedicates herself to administrate the charity money that people give them. But one day, upon having been expelled from their place, they move to a very agitated Buenos Aires right in the midst of its last dictatorship.

San Miguel de Tucumán / Argentina: Il fait mauvais… llueve

Il Fait Mauvais… Llueve

Il 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.

Santiago / Chile: Clase

Clase

There are two characters; a professor and a student who are inside the class, discussing their points of view on politics, while outside there is a student demonstration claiming for their rights. It is the famous Marcha de los Pingüinos (Penguins March) which took place in 2006. Calderón uses this setting to confront two generations which live in the same country, but that haven´t experienced the same story nor the same tragedies.

Wroclaw / Polonia: El caso Dantón / Sprawa Dantona

El Caso Dantón / Sprawa Dantona

Klata's stage production combines three time levels that overlap without suffering any conflict. On one hand,and through its costumes, it represents the Revolutionary France of 1789. On the other hand , and through the music, it makes reference to the cultural imaginary associated with May 1968, to finally give us a critical opinion of an impoverished city–that could be any city at all–at the present.

Richard Burton starrs this version of John Gielgud in Broadway. The version was registered during a performance with the sole purpose of spreading the staging in cinema rooms. Under a contract, the copies were supposed to be destroyed. However, and fortunately, Burton ignored the deal and sent a copy to the British Film Institute and decided to keep another at home for himself.

Córdoba / Argentina: Nursing. Elemental. Manual de procedimientos

Nursing. Elemental. Manual De Procedimientos.

This play about the story, the friendship, and the competition between three nurses, is the basis used to show a crucial moment of Argentine culture. Nursing… is about the years when nursing was turned into a profession by the peronism; fact which allows the creator to work on the imaginary which surrounds Perón and Eva, as a result of the admiration these three workers from a hospital, situated in the interior of the country, felt for Eva Perón.

París / Francia: La Comisión central para la infancia

La Comisión Central Para La Infancia

Childhood´s Central Commission were a set of institutions –around 50 in France– that were dedicated to recover and save nearly 15,000 children who were left orphans after the war, stripped of their loved ones and of their traditions also. In this one-man-show, Lescot lends his body and his voice to thousands of children ,as a way to make use of the theatre to preserve the memories. A highly moving and intimate performance.

Buenos Aires / Argentina: Exactamente bajo el sol

Exactamente Bajo El Sol

This is the story of a seamstress, her mother, and her daughter, who host a nephew who came to town to take a music specialization course. Since his arrival, an erotic and endogamic play starts, recalling the personality of Serge Gainsbourg, that French interpreter so much loved and desired by women as well as so detested by the defenders of morality and good manners.
