ALICANTE MAIN THEATER
*** ½
of the Arthur Miller. Adaption: Natalia Grosso
Producing: Okapi Productions. Address: Ruben Szuchmacher
We saw José Sacristán and María Jesús Valdés on the same stage in 2000, and now it’s your turn. Imanol Arias and Cristina de Inza. In line with the psychological realism of the 40s and 50s, among other characters, some “candid conversations” and a funeral American Arthur Miller is one of the most enduring writers in the world, and as in this case “Death of a Salesman” (1949), does not lose its validity even with the passage of time. I even know re-values. The inner power of the theater explains the reasons.
Demands for success, daily worries, getting ahead or frustrated lives of parents and children and misunderstandings. Personal and family storming in a fake world false illusions, where consumption, competition and predation set the standards for the wild wolf. The subject has been reduced to the simple customer category. More than a human being, he is a disposable and part of this trading machine in a trading society. Dehumanized.
So, in expressionist atmosphere and in an almost empty space, types and characters are revealed by a symbolic decoration of gray walls that oppress the various rooms. A major 20th-century work directed by Rubén Szuchmacher and starring commercial agent Virginia Flores, the lover of Andreas Muñoz, Daniel Ibáñez, Fran Calvo, Miguel Uribe and Loman, with the necessary nuances.
Imanol Arias takes on one of these roles to an ingenious scope. occupied by paper complexity and takes ownership of what a text does and expresses with it. classic scheme and scenes from the past that make up the present. The adaptation by Natalio Grueso and Szuchmacher retains essential luggage and accessories that could be dispensable. The traditional role of the faithful wife is attached to Cristina de Inza with a precise and delicate task.
The seller is fired and commits suicide in front of the dedicated public so his kids can get the insurance.
