‘Sheep’ returns to Texas – Magazine Teatre Barcelona
Often in the tandem -in -key comedy Carmen Marfà and Yago alonso An unusual element stands out: Contacts with the afterlife to Its presenceforms of irreverent burial in Extraordinary measures or a comment with genes of touch to Fine skin. Into Sheeppremiered in the Flyhard Room in 2018, this unusual element is the five hundred twelve sheep that a trio of urban brothers inherits without knowing what to do. Now, seven years after the premiere, Sheep He returns to the Texas Space, which has become more and more consolidated since its reopening by 2023. Because the new Texas has set out to recover contemporary classics of Catalan drama, a commendable and necessary initiative.
Corroborates Albert Triolaactor present in the montage from the premiere: “The works are getting less and less and when a work is successful it is very excited to recover it and that it can have more life.” The re -release of the Texas will satisfy the spectators who have more than once asked Marfà and Alonso if it would be done again, and will also bring the show closer to the original Flyhard montage, which is also a room with two -way plate. For Triola, this provision makes the experience of the even more intimate and vibrant audience: “It’s that feeling that you have the audience on top and see the small details.”
Viewers who go to see Sheepbetween September 25 and November 16, they will enjoy a comedy that will also think: “ It is a piece that I find that is very well built, it is a perfect gear, but it is not only a comedy that makes laugh, but has something else, it has a dramatic point, ” says Triola. Indeed, with this work its authors wanted to reflect the consequences of the economic crisis to talk about “ how our generation had affected, that we had to have stable work and that our lives had to go better ”, a generation, however, that in the 2010 decade “ it began to be clear that it would be worse than his parents ”.
What is interesting, for Marfà and Alonso, is the validity of a text that when they wrote it, he seemed closely linked to a specific moment: “ The fact of doing it again has made us see that when we wrote it it seemed that the crisis had passed and in fact we have been living in a crisis since then, because there are not many stable work, everything is very precarious, and there are very precarious people, years. ” Now, the three protagonists will have to decide once again if they change their lives and take advantage of the animal inheritance that falls on them (with the subsequent revelation of the few knowledge they have about life in the countryside) or they continue as before. They will give them body Albert Triola, Gemma Martínezwho alternated with Sara Espígul to the original assembly, and Ramon Pujolwhich is incorporated into this family trio that will make us so laugh and reflect.
