Naturally, the plot of this social and rural drama set in 1960s Franco Spain is shared with a peasant family living in a farmhouse in Extremadura. The landlord imposes sacrifice and obedience. And it determines the fate of certain characters who do not have the right to overcome a life imposed by an origin that implies resignation, shattering dreams within the framework of irreconcilable social classes.
It feels like something from yesterday, but in one way or another it’s still there. Because talking about the past is also a way of reflecting on the present. Draw your own conclusions whether you’ve seen the game or not. Read the great Miguel Delibes novel or watch Mario Camus’ award-winning 1984 movie. This is “Los santos inocentes”, a stage adaptation of Javier Hernández-Simón, sensitively directed by Fernando Marías and Javier Hernández-Simón. Contains the basics of novel pages.
Javier Gutiérrez’s interpretation once again demonstrates the diversity of expression and psychological profile he deals with depending on each role, whether in theatre, film or television. Pepa Pedroche, a solid actress, is his wife. Part of an overarching epic, Jacobo Dicenta stands out as an authoritative boss. Or the genius of the mentally retarded Luis Bermejo. A free spirit who doesn’t understand surrender. Also the players that Yune Nogueiras, José Fernández, Fernando Huesca, Raquel Varela and Marta Gómez interject with the balance and skill required by the exterior and interior features and passages.
The plot of the program and the finale represent the critical and reflective plane of the dramatic action. Social injustice and humiliation with the bird falling to the ground by the young man’s bullet. The decor by Ricardo Sánchez and the lighting design by Gómez-Cornejo help to recreate the poetic message and what underlies the text. Realism and symbolism in the aesthetics of a dramatization with more or less stimuli in the Director of Alicante, to which a large number of participants applauded.
