We want to congratulate the idea of dedicating the fall to the playwright and founder of the Sala Beckett (1989) José Sanchis Sinisterra. They have offered a cycle of six shows, five dramatized readings, talks, round tables and activities dedicated to one of the most important contemporary creators in Spain.
Two magnificent actors, Javier Godino and Joan Martínez Vidal of the Theater in First Blood perform a text by Sanchis Sinisterra at the Tantarantana theater under the direction and adaptation of the author himself and co-directed by Daniela de Vecchi.
Naque or lice and actors It was premiered in 1980 by the Teatro Fronterizo and is still very current because it talks about theater, traditional theater, its difficulties, its greatness and its miseries, the relationship with the public, the intimate relationship with stage partners. At some point it seems like they are waiting for Godot but here Godot arrives in the form of hors d’oeuvres, odes, octaves, songs or sacramental acts.
It is a cartoonish and tender tribute to the itinerant theater, with few resources, performed in humble inns, in which the important thing is the story, the word, the gesture.
It is a surprising text, surely full of notes because the actors stop the performance to introduce their own reflections, their doubts, their contradictions. Fiction and reality, theater within the theater, metatheater, illusions, fantasies, deformations of Old Testament texts in a humorous way and bringing them to the present. Four centuries of difference and the theater is still theater with an audience that is there, listens, observes and watches.
Both actors excellently represent this difficult text, that “theater of battle”, dirty, dusty, hungry, where lice are respected and feel comfortable. Both actors look from time to time at the author-director who is in the front row as if asking for his approval. Sanchis Sinisterra smiles satisfied.
