He Jovellanos theater has reopened its doors. The municipal coliseum will offer this month of December a handful of first-class shows to end 2020 with a good taste in the mouth. With reduced capacity and all security measures, the Jovellanos theater resumed its activity. Dance, classical music, theater and gospel make up a program for all tastes. Tomorrow, Tuesday, the 15th, the company of Marco Vargas and Chloè Brûlè will represent one of the great dance proposals of the season: “The celestial bodies”. A show recommended by the National Theater Network, which mixes flamenco with electronic music and has captivated critics and audiences. A “choral score in seven movements” that will compose, according to its authors, “a fresco on human beings”. And from the best dance, to classical music. The day after tomorrow, Wednesday, the Canarian pianist Iván Martín will take over to offer a complete program of L. V. Beethoven, within the framework of the concerts programmed by the Philharmonic Society of Gijón.
On Wednesday, December 17, the leading role will fall to the Asturian Theater company “From Carmela Punto is”, which may on stage “Ay, Carmela!”, By José Sanchís Sinisterra. Under the direction of Sandro Cordero, Carlos Mesa and Carmela Romero will give life to this play that addresses the world of theater during the Spanish Civil War. On Friday the 18th, gospel lovers are in luck, and it is that despite the difficulties arising from the covid-19 crisis, Divertia was able to close just a couple of weeks ago the concert of a great North American formation: “John Lee Sanders & The Gospel Messengers”. John Lee is one of the great figures of gospel in the US, pianist, saxophonist and singer, he will be accompanied by his choir to review the successes of this North American style. On Sunday December 20, the theater will gain space for music, with “Men who write in small rooms”. A show by Entrecajas, Avance Producciones, García Pérez Producciones and the Centro Dramático Nacional, directed by Víctor Conde, which features the interpretation of Esperanza Elipe, Canco Rodríguez, Cristina Alarcón and Julia Piera. A comedy that will talk about “counterespionage and modern terrors, about time travel and literature, but, above all, about ordinary people”. On December 22, the National Classical Theater Company will represent “Among fools the game goes”, by Rojas Zorrilla, directed by Eduardo Vasco. Also a comedy, but on this occasion, considered a model for a “figurehead comedy.”
The 2020 program will end at the Jovellanos theater with the concert-recording that Rodrigo Cuevas will offer in the cycle “Fit2”. The singer, composer, accordionist, percussionist and “folk agitator” has sold out the seats for this event that closes the 2020 calendar of performances and also the successful cycle “Encaja2”, whose concerts can be enjoyed, in full and for free, on the YouTube channel of the Jovellanos theater.
