In a society dominated by reality shows television, it is not strange that it is used the stage -the territory par excellence of the possible and the experienceable-as a playing field to confront the different versions of a past that, in one way or another, make up our present.
It’s what he’s done with grace, professionalism and a lot of irony, the author, director and actor David Montero with his new self-fiction work: a face-to-face with whomever his partner for ten yearsthe dancer Mayan Nativity.
A good actor and very comfortable in his formula as a comedian who continually addresses the public, Montero drives the action and the story, seasoning it with news of his life: his economic hardships, his thousand girlfriends, nods to characters from the past, such as the Count-Duke of Olivares (with Antonio Álamo, its author, in the room), interviews with programmers such as the Bienal de Flamenco (also in the room), etc
For her part, Belén, in a black bata de cola, expresses herself by dancing, as she well knows, and when she speaks, she makes it clear that her version is quite different from that of her ex..
Without going into their relationship as artists – they did eight shows together in which she undoubtedly dwarfed herself to accompany him- Maya, among other things, blames his infidelity and defines it as “his greatest disappointment”.
Authentic darts sifted by humor and by the presence on stage of the Pagan Bride, whose contribution, more than musical, is to dilute the eventuality of an authentic combat for two. A good way of healing for the wounds of heartbreak.
