Carlos Rottemberg, theatrical impresario, presented this Wednesday in a restaurant in Palermo the shows that they will bring to Mar del Plata this summerwhen cwill complete 45 uninterrupted seasons of activities in “La Feliz”. “I’m proud that I didn’t give up on the leanest years, nor did I trust the most successful ones,” she acknowledged.
“Mar del Plata is very internalized for Argentines, as a city and As a theater plaza, it is a registered trademark that must continue to be looked after“, highlighted Rottemberg during the press event in which there were artists of the seven casts who will make an entire season in the theaters it has in that city.
at the stage of Bristol Theatre Jorge Suárez, Laura Oliva, Héctor Díaz and Paula Ransenberg will arrive to star in the comedy “Lapland”. Written by Catalan authors and directed by Nelson Valente, the staging recently won four ACE awards.
After a successful year in the city of Buenos Aires, Leonor Benedetto, Karina K, Julieta Ortega, Ana María Picchio and Patricia Sosa will arrive at the Atlas Theater with “The Lost Mind”the creation of Mariela Asensio and José María Muscari, directed by Muscari.
I am Rada Aristaran he’ll do his show”scrambled” in the Lido and the humorist of Corrientes, Iturriaga againwill be presented at Neptune Theater.
To the Mar del Plata Theater Luciano Castro, Natalie Pérez, Pablo Rago and Carla Conte will land to star in “Divorce“, written and directed by Valente. While the psychologist Gabriel Rolonwill complete the schedule on Mondays and Tuesdays at Bristol with the show “full word”.
The mechanical dinosaurs protagonists of the blockbuster for the whole family”Dinosaurs… a Jurassic adventure“will be embodied in the America musical comedy format.
After two atypical seasons marked differently by the pandemic, in 2023 Rottemberg acknowledges that he continues to bet on his instinct to take care of the programming of his theaters: “I don’t think the taste has changed because of the pandemic, but The peculiarity of this summer and what makes me a little curious is that I will have a somewhat out of the ordinary program: at least 3 shows that make up a complete season are held, very unknown“.
In the case of Rada Aristarán, the comedian who just sold out a Luna Park in Buenos Aires and premiered his second special on Netflix, will combine magic routines, stand ups and live music with his band And the Colibriquis in “Revuelto “. . For his part, the creator of Corrientes of ‘Jenny, the Paraguayan’ will make his first full season on ‘La Feliz’ with his multi-target comedy show.
Perhaps Rottemberg’s most disruptive offering this summer are the state-of-the-art mechanical dinosaurs which will put on a show of music and adventure for all the family.
As for expectations, the president of the Argentine Association of Theater and Music Entrepreneurs (AADET) acknowledged having bet with more than 70 people in the environment on which (and in what order) the six most watched shows of the summer will be .
“The interesting thing – he underlined – is that we are people specialized in the matter and we think differently. This is the magic that keeps us betting, because if one doesn’t have a quota of players it is very difficult to dedicate oneself to a profession where of the taste and judgment of the public”.
But then he clarified: “My expectation for this summer is the same as I have from the first summer, which is to step up that position“
For this he bets on a method that he has maintained since the beginning: “Although there are a handful of famous people who drive the wheel of entertainment, the jobs that are generated are disproportionately in favor of the people of Mar del Plata.”.
Recognized for a memory capable of preserving names of actors from two decades ago, dialogues with precise details that happened in the 80s or anecdotes told with photographic precision that include the best known artists of the local constellation, when asked about their first season in Mar del PlataRottenberg recovers a postcard that serves as an example to portray his footprint as an entrepreneur:
“It was 1978, I arrived at 21 and with my mother’s car, a Fiat 600. Of the 44 seasons I’ve done so far, the first 22 have been on narrow roads and 22 on the highway. I went to a small hotel on the corner of Córdoba and Belgrano and the wife of the caretaker who ended up taking over the company, sewed the curtain of the first Corrientes theater for me”.
Since then, becoming the protagonist and witness of an activity that after the pandemic shock has proved to be more alive than ever, Rottemberg has recognized that this summer will have a bittersweet taste: “What surprises me the most when I look at photos of who my peers were 45 years ago is how alone I ended up on the street.”
“The last one was this year with the death of Lino Patalano and, therefore, I go to Mar del Plata with the same desire as always, the same illusion and accompanied by many people from Mar del Plata but much more only from the point of view of colleagues who have bet on the city of the theater”, he concluded .
