SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA, 17 (EUROPA PRESS)
Redrum Teatro will premiere ‘Hamelin’, an adaptation of a text by Juan Mayorga for which he received the Max Award for best author in 2005, in Santiago de Compostela (Teatro Principal) on February 23rd.
Currently, the company is carrying out rehearsals in the SGAE building in Santiago and in the A Illa de Arousa Auditorium of what will be the second adaptation into Galician of a play by Mayorga, a playwright who in 2022 received the Princess of Asturias Award for the Letters.
The play, directed and adapted by Alex Sampayo, stars seven performers: Guillermo Carbajo, Mónica García, Roberto Leal, Machi Salgado, Belén Constenla, Fran Lareu and Rubn Porto.
After two performances in Santiago, on February 23 and 24, Redrum will tour: Cangas (March 4), Pontevedra (March 9), A Illa (April 1), Lugo (April 20), Teo (April 28) and Vern (May 6).
The tickets for the performance in Santiago are on sale on the platform www.compostelacultura.gal and in Zona C (Praza de Cervantes) from Mars to Saturday, at its usual time.
CHILD ABUSE
‘Hamelin’ is a scenic proposal that arises from the darker version of the popular tale of ‘The Pied Piper of Hamelin’, with a focus on the different types of violence that are exerted on children.
Mayorga addresses the issue of pedophilia “with subtle language and scenes full of ellipses, where things are alluded to, where the viewer must do their part to interpret, to imagine, to fill the silences.”
