Only married people don’t want a house. This is not a whim. It is a right that is not fulfilled to the extent that it needs to be fulfilled. Acquisition of decent and social housing at a reasonable price. For rent or own. “Home” refers to real estate speculation, mortgages, evictions, foster families, relocations, or economic crises. An architect, refugees, immigrants in search of a better life, estranged minors, functional diversity and independence, an activist, coronavirus… Keynotes, some creativity and specific distributions.
Great parliaments are abused (as in other cases) and the distances between the stage and the auditorium of the Alicante Akdeniz Foundation, from the Exhibition venues, are eliminated. While it dwells on the problem without delving into the plight of the homeless, this is the work of the company associated with the Teatro de la Abadia, Cross-Border Project in Madrid, directed by author Lucía Miranda.
Nearly forty interviews with various people were recorded and transcribed verbatim to create testimonies used by more than twenty characters in multiple scenes with only five versatile actors. Pilar Bergés, Ángel Perabá, Efraín Rodríguez, César Sánchez and Macarena Sanz bring great love and balanced sensitivity to their work with a lens of goodwill based on listening and observing social conflicts.
A clear creativity perfectly orchestrated by the director is in this cinema of documents intertwined forming a story. In a mini and sarcastic show, the two comedians drive a few puppets and talk to us about foreclosure, guilt, and history in payment.
In short, the house is the basic element and the starting point. Before each performance, the public writes sentences about the right to housing, which are read by the actors. A strikingly crooked right.
