The Thuillier Theater of Caravaca de la Cruz will be this Sunday, October 21, at 8:00 pm, stage of the theatrical performance 'Los Cuernos de Don Friolera', based on one of the three 'esperpentos' that make up the great work of Valle -Inclán 'Tuesday of Carnival'.
Tickets are on sale at Nueva Joyería (Main Street) and before the performance can be purchased at the theater box office, at the price of 10 euros and 8 euros reduced.
The work is produced by 'Morfeo Teatro', Montse Lozano and Gloria Muñoz, with the collaboration of the Department of Culture of the City of Caravaca de la Cruz.
'Morfeo' is a company based in Burgos, recognized for the uniqueness and strong personality of its proposals.
In his philosophy is the desire to adapt or rescue unusual pieces in the repertoire both classical and contemporary assuming a provocative sense of staging and a marked proximity to the viewer.
'Los Cuernos de Don Friolera' portrays a Spain of the early twentieth century in which Valle criticizes the moral prejudices of the loss of honor;
For that reason, he pretends, and with great irony, mocks his characters and his behavior as a Sanetero symphony, in an unprecedented satirical parody that provokes cruel and unbridled laughter about the macho tradition of the Spaniards.
The story tells how Lieutenant Astete -don Friolera-, receives an anonymous warning him that his wife is cheating on him.
Go crazy for the jealousy he feels of his frivolous wife, Dona Loreta, tempted by a chulapo of halftones and neighbor, the barber Pachequin, and instigated by a malicious neighborhood, plot to take revenge.
Valley also makes a review of the atmosphere of the underworld and popular classes, the connivance of smugglers and army officers, ultimately a ruthless portrait of the deteriorated moral consistency of Spanish society and the atmosphere of frustration after the loss of the Colonies.
But above all that pessimism Valley unloads its most powerful weapon of seduction, laughter.
A devilish laugh that resonates over our heads, that we can not contain from the beginning to the end of the absurd "esperpento".
The set of 'Morfeo Teatro' -a gauze paired with collage painting techniques that allow different sets of transparencies- is inspired by the series of paintings "Elegy to the Spanish Republic" by the painter Robert Motherwell, belonging to the New York School of Art. Abstract expressionism of the mid-twentieth century.
In this series of paintings that Motherwell paints, when visiting Spain after the Civil War and being impressed by the tragic consequences of the conflict, it is a tribute of the painter to his admired Spanish artists Picasso and Miró.
