The Bretn Theater presents this weekend the adaptation of the novel by Miguel Delibes ‘The wars of our ancestors’, starring Carmelo Gómez and Miguel Hermoso and directed by Claudio Tolcachir, and the musical Beethoven#ParaElisa, Feten Award 2021 for best show musical.
This Saturday, December 3, at 7.30 pm, the actors Carmelo Gómez and Miguel Hermoso will stage Eduardo Galán’s adaptation of the original novel by Miguel Delibes “The Wars of Our Ancestors”, a beautiful reflection on the paper of violence, which brings one closer, in absolutely masterful language, to such essential problems as human freedom and responsibility.
This work is a cry against the violence of wars. From the name of the protagonist, “Pacífico”, to the terrible epilogue of the work, the author of Valladolid has defended in all his pages peace in the face of war and nonviolence as a way of life.
In this adaptation we wanted to highlight the complex character of Pacífico Pérez, his submission to the powerful, his almost Franciscan resignation in the face of a destiny engraved in his memory from his cradle with the stories of the wars that his grandfather, Bisa and Bisa told him. Father. The novel’s original outline of the seven interviews Pacífico held with the prison psychiatrist was respected. In them he expresses himself with full freedom and with the best Castilian rural language, so wisely granted by its original author.
Sunday 4 December, at 7 pm, the Bretn Theater offers Beethoven#paraElisa, a lively and musical show for the whole family, co-produced by the Español Theater and the Manodesanto Company, which delves into the theme of the limits of life, education when they are confused with imposition. This work was recognized with the 2021 Feten Award for Best Musical Performance and is included in the Platea State Performing Arts Program.
Beethoven#ParaElisa is a tribute to the 250th anniversary of the birth of Ludwig van Beethoven. Talk about the right to choose your own path, even if you’re giving up an enforced talent that would have led you to a supposed destination of recognition and glory.
Its background is the composition of a piece of music as a mirror for the construction of one’s identity. Teresa Malfatti, Ludwig van Beethoven’s platonic love, entrusts the Viennese genius with the composition of a piano piece dedicated to a young prodigy who has just arrived in the city: Elisabet Barensfeld, whom he affectionately calls Elisa, and also asks him to give him piano lessons because he is* losing his vocation for music. Beethoven becomes obsessed with pleasing Teresa using all the strategies at her disposal to keep Elisa from abandoning music. Ludwig discovers that Elisa has a passion other than music and the young woman teaches Beethoven that there is life beyond genius, talent and music.
