18 years ago we could have seen or met for the first and last time, but it was not. We pass from the other side of Eliseo Hotel in Manhattan, when the police took his body to the morgue. We knew it, hours later, from our apartment in Jackson Heights, Queens, after finishing a task information about the devaluation of the bolivar had decreed that President Luis Herrera Campins, because those were the times when we work to The Caracas daily, from New York. This simple story of a journalist who did not stop, as is customary, to pry into what was happening beyond their noses, we prevented from learning more about the impact of the death of the famous playwright Tennessee Williams, or Thomas Lanier Williams III was born on March 26, 1911 in the United States, Columbus (Mississippi) and killed on February 25, 1983.
Now, to celebrate the first 100 years after his birth, clusters HEBU Caracas counterplay Theatre and Theatre of the Centennial event organized Tennessee Williams (1911-2011) with a selection of his dramaturgy. It is a festival that includes not only the season's most emblematic works of American, but also the presentation of a cycle of seven short texts of the author and three shows inspired by his stories.
So HEBU Theatre and Theatre of counterplay celebrate in style the centenary of an author who decided to break the rules of the theater of his time and take risks that are still considered as such. Talking about the homosexual condition, sex and condition of black men are the topics covered in the works of Tennessee Williams Centenary (1911-2011). The festival will take place at the Cultural Trasnocho 8 April to 24 July. Additionally there will be ten
forums covering cinema, drama and documentaries Williams about his life.
The series of events begin with the staging of A Streetcar Named Desire, which won the Pulitzer in 1958 and filmed in 1951, which premieres Friday, April 8, in the plural. Will be in theaters for 10 weeks until June 12, with features on Fridays and Saturdays at 9:00 pm and Sunday at 7:00 PM.
A Streetcar Named Desire tells the story of Blanche Dubois, a woman over 30 years of age, with delusions of grandeur, taking refuge in an invented world, arrogant and unbalanced. Having finished a history of several generations of debtors with the loss of the family farm and in youth have suffered the trauma of the suicide of her husband, is presented in the modest home of a working class neighborhood in New Orleans where her sister Stella, that is perfectly adapted to urban life and married with Polish Stanley Kowalski, a worker inconsiderate and rude, but adores her. Fastidious temperament and delusions of grandeur of Blanche collide with pragmatism to the death of his brother, the corners from the start to get to inform all that long ago ceased to be the prim which is intended, which was expelled from work to seduce children, who in his hometown is known for its sexual promiscuity and has no money, no friends millionaires as intended.
However, the version directed by Orlando Arocha has a national context and current. This is not a suburb of New Orleans, but one that is more connected to what is commonplace for Caracas. There are sounds of reggaeton, a stage in which elements are used to encode the Venezuelan piece as a whole, rather than timeless. This Tennessee Williams
Centenary (1911-2011) will simultaneously with the filing of like rain Talk to me: Seven short plays by Tennessee Williams . The presentations of this staging, directed by Diana Volpe, will be for eight weeks from 16 April to 5 June, with features on Saturdays and Sundays at 4:00 PM, in the plural.
Talk to me like the rain is a collection of texts: Tell me like rain and let me hear , Auto attests, The case of petunias trampled , I can not imagine tomorrow , The Marquise of lotion kills lice , The Long Goodbye and A perfect analysis by a parrot . Everyone talks about the loneliness, the decay of society and the pitfalls of love. After careful preparation, the cast made up of 19 players displayed their talents on stage. This cycle of short plays was part of the final sample of a workshop staging that Volpe issued in 2010. This is the reading of Williams which presents a universe of characters inherently human, damaged, brave, fallible and hopeful.
The third part of the festival is the presentation of misconduct, three shows based on stories of Tennessee Williams: Women owned (17 to 26 June), Tenn / Tom (from 1 to 10 July) and Q & Q (Queens and Queers ) 15 to 24 July) will be presented in the plural. Features: Fridays and Saturdays at 9:00 pm and Sundays at 7:00 pm. Women In
owned , Williams explores female sexuality as few writers of his time through stories uploaded and squeaky. Ricardo Nortier heads. Tenn / Tom is an autobiographical view of American author, directed by Juan Jose Martin, in which stories are intertwined in the family as a place of harmony and nostalgia, but also as a place of solitude. Q & Q is the author's homosexual side, which is revealed in these stories defiantly rude and ruthless. Bouley runs July. The festival Centennial
Tennessee Williams (1911-2011) will, in addition to performing arts events, with a series of ten films, forums about the playwright. This will take place in the Paseo Cinemas every Wednesday from May 4 to July 6. Faced with an explosion
theater of this type, one expects to enjoy the maximum, although we regret that there is no organized or anything similar to Venezuela's Cesar Rengifo, a the great fighters for the national drama. It is possible that in other times, other men, he made not one but multiple tributes to whom it has claimed the saga of popular Venezuelan civilian or military.
Who gets to bell the cat?
And the fault is not Diana Arocha Orlando Volpe or who already have enough with what they do, and they always do well also the fault of others who are like the cat Flora, to use a popular expression.
