Four actresses get ready. They stretch their muscles. They warm up the voice. They make up and dress with a bit of anxiety and a bit of joy. Acting is the method. The scenery the landscape. And the applause the inevitable and expected end. “The Broken Wings Manifesto” is a non-stop passage to the world of acting. This play is an invitation to spy on the imaginary that the performers live show by show.
A theater room is the place chosen to narrate the dramatic trade. And despite the danger of falling into the obvious, choosing to accentuate the interpretative elements reinforces the message. What role does theater have in society? How do you measure success behind the scenes? How many lives fit in the body of an interpreter? How much does the gaze of others weigh on an acting job that undresses scene after scene? What are the limits when interpreting?
Acting, like many other artistic disciplines, is an activity that has a lot of passion and yet it does not stop thinking cold. The cultural industry exists and it is pertinent to give it visibility both in the plot and in the medium chosen to portray it. In this show, theater is the key concept that invites us to reflect on its own meaning. “The Broken Wings Manifesto” is a play that talks about actresses doing theater and the success in this paradox is imminent.
Talent becomes flesh in arms that don’t stop moving, legs that know where to step and faces that gesticulate tirelessly. The cast demonstrates confidence on the stage while the script tells us about fears, regrets, and failures. Perhaps the true find is in interpreting a universe as varied as the world of acting without using well-known jokes or resources that already feel old. Each word is poetry that comes out without trouble from mouths dedicated to singing and reciting. Each character tells her story with their own pen and ink. The stories can be similar, but never identical.
The feminist approach becomes more tangible when it comes to drawing the prejudices that run through the neighborhood about acting work. Choosing to be an actress is an act of courage in a world of cardboard opinions that minimize the role of women in theater companies. The gossip is simple; the actresses of the present only come to annoy, they do not know how to interpret, and they have no pretense of prestige. The useless comparison with the figures of yesteryear is the excuse to justify the machiruelada of the day.
Beyond the criticism in the newspaper, the rumors and the insecurities themselves, “The Broken Wings Manifesto” is a celebration of the strength that bodies have when they move out of passion. It is the affirmation of the dignity that exists in the artistic work of four stars who do not need prizes or awards to understand the triumph. It is a show that invites you to think about the concept of interpretation and to create new links with success. A theatrical gem recommended for everyone.
