In this second edition, at its opening, “Socrates, the charmer of souls” will be staged, with a single function; and the work “Old Illusions” from August 27.
The Festival was born from the desire to honor the memory of an exceptional playwright, Eduardo Rovner. Tadrón Teatro, presents the Second Edition of the Here and Now Rovner Festival, which will begin on August 20, the day of his birth.
Words from Herminia Jensezian about the Festival:
“Tadrón Teatro opened its doors 27 years ago with the play “Volvió una noche” by Eduardo Rovner. And since then and over the course of all these years, various plays by this playwright friend have been produced in this space. This Festival was born from the desire to pay homage and honor the memory of the Argentine playwright Eduardo Rovner, and through him, rescue the memory of the Argentine Theater, a theater that resonates beyond the borders of our country. Aquí y Ahora Rovner is inaugurated with the idea of replicating itself every year, in the Gastón Breyer room of the Tadron Teatro, to stage various materials by the author on stage in each edition”

A professor identifies with Socrates until he imaginarily takes his place. His classroom is his refuge, his field of action, the place where he can “be”. Passion is the meeting point between Socrates and the teacher, it crosses them, equalizes them. Both decide to “be” regardless of the consequences.

Antonia is a 120-year-old mother who struggles psychologically -and at times even physically- so that her daughter does not abandon her. Petra, her daughter, is 94 years old, single and wants to fulfill her postponed dream of consecrating herself as an artist in her lover’s bar. Antonia, totally destabilized by such a decision, will do everything in her power to convince her otherwise, using all kinds of disqualifying arguments, loaded with black humor, irony, and psychological traps. Two beings that transcend the sexes, that confront and at the same time share a concert of frustrations, unfulfilled desires and fatal postponements. The impossibility of leaving, and a stay, without possibilities. Wonderfully caustic.
