NO MAN´S LAND

Harold Pinter's masterpiece, No Man’s Land (Tierra de nadie), is set in 1970s London. Two old friends, who have forgotten the ties that existed between them before the Second World War, come face to face again on a night laced with alcohol, which re-opens the wounds of a past that must be put in order to avoid being forever condemned to insurmountable sterility. Pinter offers us a stark reflection on the necessary function of language in a devastated world that can no longer afford to believe in simplistic stories.

If Dante took Virgil as a guide for his monumental poetic journey, Harold Pinter delves into the contemporary hell that is No Man's Land guided by the silent hand of T. S. Eliot, whom he so admired. 

In the words of the director, Xavier Albertí, “No Man's Land is the most fascinating ideological journey taken by contemporary theatre in terms of the capacity to live life with a strength that can only be achieved by remaining true to oneself. No Man's Land is a place of ambiguity and blurred lines where identities are both jeopardised and built.” 

After its run at the Teatre Nacional de Catalunya, No Man's Land is now being performed in Spanish at the Teatro Español.
