THE KIDS ARE ASLEEP

La Gaviota, one of Anton Chekhov's masterpieces, in an adaptation and revisioning by Daniel Veronese, where he extracts the essence of this theatre gem.  Featuring performances by Malena Alterio, Miguel Rellán and Pablo Rivero, and many more.
  “Only the placid habituation of the day-to-day, the banal, the minimum, seems sufficient to cast a veil over  what seethes below, the confusion and disorder, the isolation and misunderstanding.  Wisdom, learning, humanity and capacity for self-sacrifice are almost non-existent values, denied to this country group of actors, with their very peculiar idiosyncrasies.  They seem to feel and decide: is it better to stay out of it and not interfere with history, being eaten alive, destroying oneself…  Throughout the play one question floats in the air: can one avoid this spiritual rot and allow the soul to flow freely?  I still tend to think about the curing and benign- why not?- nature of creation and about man's attitude towards creation.  Obviously, this is a presentation of the problem without its corresponding solution". Daniel Veronese

A production by Producciones Teatrales Contemporáneas and Sebastian Blutrach
