Experimental Theater in Quito

12 years ago

Translated using BING translator. Original in Spanish follws:

MACARIO
(Theatrical version of the eponymous story of Juan Rulfo)

SINOPSIS (SPANISH)
Next to the sewer and armed with a table, Macario, the village idiot, expected to kill frogs that night stole the dream of her godmother. Caused by sleep or insatiable hunger, Macario tries to remember, without success, an important fact that, according to her godmother, he committed. This is the reason that the people of the village apedree.
Macario speaks of his life marked by statements and threats of the fanaticism of her godmother and a hostile environment that scares him and causes a deep fear of death, to hell. All this lives it, says it, dreams it, and shares it. Macario finally returns to the initial in an unconscious defiance point at the time, the misunderstanding and death.

"An actor who taught us that the body and the voice are more than sufficient to illuminate the scene without having to resort to great effect or to the bombast." An acting lesson, I imagine, will give think the theatre. "And the public was delighted."
Pedro Jara FESTIVAL "Theatre (Chile) rain"

"Its staging remembers the sober beckettian bet of no-espacio, non-place, showing the human ghost as well as the green meadows of happiness, the most terrible of the such;" "the light and the artist first one to another hiding: really amazing."
Leon saw first Act (Spain)

"Lo de Cacho Gallegos is something separate." Tenderness, pain, loneliness... his monologue is the best that has been released this year. He had, in their role in the full theatre festival. "He received the longest applause of the entire sample."
Daily trade (Ecuador)

"What stands out above all is the impeccable performance." "There is a successful management of voice to represent the characters... / management body, expression, voice, Macario are that character that has successfully built before our eyes and has been able to install the rulfiana atmosphere on the stage, let us experience this nocturnal sopor sadness of death and silences that speak."

MACARIO
(Versión teatral del cuento homónimo de Juan Rulfo)

SINOPSIS
Junto a la alcantarilla y armado con una tabla, Macario, el loco del pueblo, espera matar las ranas que la noche anterior robaron el sueño de su madrina. Provocado por el sueño o por el hambre insaciable, Macario intenta recordar, sin lograrlo, un hecho importante que, según su madrina, él cometió. Esta es la razón para que la gente del pueblo lo apedree.
Macario habla de su vida marcada por las sentencias y amenazas del fanatismo de su madrina y de un entorno hostil que le espanta y provoca un profundo miedo a la muerte, al infierno. Todo esto lo vive, lo comenta, lo sueña y lo comparte. Finalmente Macario vuelve al punto inicial como en un inconsciente desafío al tiempo, a la incomprensión y a la muerte.

"Un actor que nos enseñó que el cuerpo y la voz son más que suficientes como para iluminar la escena sin tener que recurrir a grandes efectos ni a la grandilocuencia. Una lección actoral que, me imagino, dará que pensar a los teatristas. Y el público quedó encantado."
Pedro Jara FESTIVAL "LLUVIA DE TEATRO (Chile)

"Su puesta en escena recuerda la sobria apuesta beckettiana del no-espacio, no-lugar, donde aparecen los fantasmas humanos así como los verdes prados de la felicidad, la más terrible de las dichas; la luz y el artista disimulándose uno a otro, escondiéndose: realmente sorprendente."
León Sierra PRIMER ACTO (España)

"Lo de Cacho Gallegos es cosa aparte. La ternura, el dolor, la soledad... su monólogo es de lo mejor que se ha estrenado este año. Tuvo, en su función en el festival, teatro lleno. Recibió el aplauso más largo de toda la muestra."
Diario EL COMERCIO (Ecuador)

“Lo que por sobretodo destaca es la actuación, impecable. Hay un logrado manejo de la voz para representar a los personajes... / El manejo corporal, la expresión, la voz, son de Macario ese personaje que ha logrado construirse frente a nuestros ojos y ha sido capaz de instalar en el escenario la atmósfera rulfiana, de hacernos experimentar ese sopor nocturnal, tristeza de muerte y silencios que hablan."
