Recipe For Giant Cupcake



Rarely, the scene regional boldly assumes an author and some of his works in order not only to challenge their creative ambition but for the purpose of searching if communicating vessels between the audience and stage are in tune. Other times, the challenge of taking a text and an author (can that be taking the text and its translation stage spectacular, the text is in one version and / or adaptation, allows frame and argument or, essentially, a resonance between the desire director of staging and artistic team / technician can perceive in the lively response that unique representation as a wonderful communication to each other, validate the known there, united in communion of the theater) is compelling because time political partner, economic partner must be subject to questions or just because that work and had a period of silence since the last time she was taken to the tables. Regardless the reason that drives a group of theater artists to consider one of the biggest names in contemporary universal drama and one of his most conspicuous courage means that this life, that energy into the group is still burning and that means it is at that precise moment that the staging / movement of the product as a bell sound theater tell one something on the horizon of public expectations of his time. This consideration only a pretext to try to talk to what my personal opinion, was confronted last month by mid-October in Room Theater Center West "Herman Lejter , headquarters of the Regional Theater Company Portuguese who, under the direction of Hannibal Grunner , undertook an effort to realize the artistic, aesthetic and conceptual one of the most prominent playwrights of the century XX as it was, Luigi Pirandello (1867 -1936) with the notorious version performed by the work itself Grunner The cap and bells (1937). I think if I remember correctly, this part is not assumed in the tables of the country since the now defunct Prima Cultural Center Candia directed by Martha take him show the viewer what capital capturing public and critical interest. Pirandello was one of the authors Italian when it is able to read and view as a dramatist who knew how to say things to the public and artists face the challenge of his works, as has been known to magnetize a snowball effect crescendo making, author / work / proposal / receive touch and communicate intimately perfect if the product has been well understood theater as a proposal for art and theater as a battering ram to express meaning to, or received unanimously by the receiver but most of the time must be forceful when cove at the junction of the public compact allowing the essence of why the researcher Raymond Williams heart that the ways of being treated this playwright must consider " a total mode of representation, a method conventionally stylized representation, a subtle understanding of the action and characters belong to a world of dolls ." It is from the first version of one of the pillars of Pirandellian drama should be clear: "The mask and the face" to know what cord to indicate when the actor addresses the interpretive action. Knowing that, the theme engine The bells cap is held on the thread of "the social hypocrisy that makes them succeed and nothing has happened here" as coda closes the program presentation given by hand CRTP , it is compelling that, returning to Williams to cite Pirandello himself - makes us feel that " While a man lives, he lives and is not himself. Well, for a mirror in front of him and make him see himself in the act of living. Or is amazed by its own appearance, or look away to avoid being, or spits angrily to his image, or raises his fist to break the mirror "In short, there is a crisis and this crisis is my theater." That is the question for saying that the version captured the Pirandellian philosophy and even ingenious plot and characters, time and reflexes are similar situations (not the post-war Italy but the scene with his Venezuelan Carora timid of people and dual speeches year 1942) and which characters trigger springs with the proper bourgeois comedy harasses us more often because they still do not know what to distill Robert Abirached in his book The crisis of character in modern drama (1978 : 229) is " give this new breath, without transforming its mode of operation their integration into society (...) the pirandello (...) without breaking the laws of representation, has left us to consummate the outbreak of the old scenic views as the "new theater" of the fifties " but certainly can be extended to the dormant representation of old / new ways of understanding / theater show where the key issue that drove Pirandello of " refraction of character on one or more mirrors, oblique or parallel more generally, establishing an exchange between life and pure theatricality, taken as such: the deformation of the character, the gaps that divide it into divergent series, the invasion of reality into fiction and vice versa, explosions aberrant memory ... "(1979: 230) key was oiled so that, from the direction ( Grunner ) the refined version derived compositional window in each of the constructs (characters) that this group portugueseño he managed to deploy in an hour and 20 minutes with technical insight and clarity of scene, warm accommodation between internal / external and in that awkward stage synderesis bring the art of masks of hypocrisy but this is a somewhat warped deformed: the case of workers exposed pristine Carlos A rroyo (Sanchez) Edilsa Montilla (Beatriz Crespo), Plaza Jesús (Delegate Spain) and with a little less but imbued with the same content Wilfredo Peraza (Alfredo). In the case of Elizabeth Prato as Ramona, spinning right job, clean, wise and ductile because she was a substantive element of the skein argument Pirandellian. One thing is The Diamondbacks Hat is that beyond the acute version of Grunner and great job acting the template obtained by the CRTP becomes obvious being in tune with the author's own reflections ( Luigi Pirandello , The Humor ) when he says that " A poet, not to believe in the reality of his own creation, can represent it as if he believed in it, ie proving to have no awareness of their unreality, can represent as real a world of its own totally fantastic, dream regulated by specific laws and, under these laws, perfectly logical or consistent. When a poet is put in these conditions, the critic should not look as if the poet puts forward is true or dream, but if it is true as a dream, as the poet did not wish to represent an effective reality, but a dream I had the appearance of reality, we understand, reality fantastic ineffective "(Pirandello, 2006: 92,93). And that is that, when from the armchair critic treatment if there is something logical or illogical or speculate this and that, only that it is from this autonomous world the poet has created a truth has its rules and behaviors. Speculation or inferences, or meta-messages transpolar making the criticism are exogenous to the dramatic text in tight joint with the basic text which builds the start and the worlds that each actor has spun on the shaft of the show. Speaking of this show, just say it was simply impeccable, with a plant where nothing moves temperate site was fierce, that balances the game scenes were in tune with the atmosphere that the story demanded, the Kelynson lighting was just giving Berrios nuances, action zones and demilitarized areas. The costumes and scenery by the director, I think the essence of time over the first thing in the second, for why it was overloaded but essentially refer? Scenic painting (William Ocanto) were recruited in the aesthetic concept of global fusion. The music and arrangements ( Carlos Salom and Wilfredo Garcia ) and communication consistent with what was expressed from the scene. The music composition and production given by Julian Ramos relevant. Effective work, consistent work, a proposal without excesses, a theatrical time just a histrionic work compact, delicious histrionic performance and response from an audience that was looking for only laugh laugh but to be there, face to face with your company encouraged them to theater art to know and understand that compromise is together for better or for worse. Conclude taken the words of Pirandello to say: "Our soul lives the soul of the race or the community that we belong, and we subconsciously feel pressure as foreign to judge, to feel as alien and to act, and just as dominant in the social world of simulation and dissimulation (..) and we simulate and conceals unfolding y. often multiplying. " Well
