Coronavirus, last minute

The project of the Teatro de La Abadía to unite the direct of the performing arts and the shared social act in times of confinement continues its successful journey after hanging the poster of "sold out virtual tickets" the two previous editions with the works Sea Wall and Esto es water . The third week of the so-called #TeatroConfinado not only expands its repertoire, but also the genres that this "new theatrical format of resistance" approaches , in the words of the organization itself.

The Vladimir Tzekov Scenic Action Laboratory , led by Manuel Bonillo , proposes for the night of Friday, April 10 at 8:30 p.m. Guided tour of a BDSM session No. 26 , a tour of a BDSM session (Bondage, Discipline, Domination, Submission, Sadism and Masochism) as "the ideal formula to resist with our bodies the generalized depoetization of the world". It is a "digital and non-contagious" show that is part of PAAR (Anti-Realistic Artistic Practice) No. 1: Public Domain, a project that the Vladimir Tzekov collective has been developing for several years and that includes different performances and a YouTube channel of the same name. In this case, "a virtual, collective and initiatory experience designed for these times of confinement, changes and intimacy" is sought.

There are several questions that he seeks to answer: "What do a stage practice and a BDSM session have in common? Are they compatible? If in both situations we have someone who exercises power and someone who supports it, which of the two consensuses is higher quality? How can we resist with our bodies the generalized depoetization of the world? How to declare the age of majority over them without resorting to a castrating Kantian rationality? How to escape the mediocre established reality that surrounds us? How to reject it in So much so that our only and pathetic opportunity for pleasure? How to involve our brain in our orgies? "

"We want to dominate you", they add from the bus, "only when we have your confidence, but not to do anything that is against your will, but to play to know better than you what you want . To collaborate in the destruction of the faith in the Individual, the one that promulgates the most dangerous of lies, that each one knows what he wants ".

The work 'In the footsteps of Augusto Madeira Mendes'.

For their part, Los Bárbaros, a project under the direction of Javier Hernando and Miguel Rojo, which addresses concepts around power, imagination and identity, represent Saturday 11 at 8:30 p.m. Following in the footsteps of Augusto Maderira Mendes , a document theater piece that plays with the borders between reality and fiction.

It is an investigation into the trace of an invented character "who is one and we are all, who is Ourique (people of the Portuguese Alentejo), who is his past and his present, his streets, his energy, his spirit, his people" . Augusto Madeira Mendes is built through stories, memories, photographs, images that were collected by the inhabitants of Ourique in the summer of 2016 . A theater play document divided into three phases: the story of the trip to Portugal told in the first person as an intro, a short film about the experience and a fantastic ending with a final question, "What happens when fiction begins to invade the reality?".

These two performance groups join the programming of this peculiar Easter, with the well-known proposals of Sea Wall , in which Nacho Aldeguer takes the lead in this intimate online live monologue for 20 viewers directed by Carlos Tuñón , and Esto It is water , where Israel Elejalde represents the speech that the writer David Foster Wallace gave in 2005 for the students who graduated that year from the University of Kenyon. All functions have a symbolic price of five euros and the funds raised go to #YoMeCorono .
