A tribute to the characters figures of the stage worldthose behind. Without them there would be no show, but their presence goes unnoticed. discretionWith l, it wants to be a show that talks about characters that no one talks about and does it. a comedy using recognizable musicals, namely music, songs and lots of work.
This production tells the story of Marcos Montagud, who won the fifth edition of Estruch Residences at the Teatro Principal in Alicante. Collectors Theater established with its direction. Ivan Jimenez and together Mila Garcia, Dolores Faraco and Diego Juan on stage.

Three actors in the scene playing the actors grilling all the meat that might be their last chance on stage. “There are three such works in the work. Musical by the actorsyes those problems among themselves and with techniciansY real life of these actors thanks to the dreamy flashbacks because so many of his memories are unreal and these three layers that Marcos creates are interchanged throughout the work,” says Iván Jiménez, who just finished the dress rehearsal at The Director.
For Montagud, “these are three characters eagerly trying to waste their last bullets, thinking that if they put on a good show they have their last chance to shine”. And along the way, they encounter “ailments that compel it”. a heroic act to go against the current“.
The director defines them as: “superheroes of insecurity” because they “do whatever they want despite the difficulties and they are very talented despite making bad decisions”.
In this sense, the playwright is also “a tribute to the secondary characters what no one is talking about.”
And speaking of precarity, the stage features a table with four chairs, some umbrellas artfully dangling from the ceiling, a smoke machine, and two moving heads. “When everything works perfectly, it looks like a real festival; like in a game, it’s about getting the most out of everything”, says Iván Jiménez.
Along the way, scenes from musicals are recreated in a very special way.

And besides, they sound 9 original songs lyrics are also by Montagud – “so this is not an addition, but rather a continuation of the scene” – and Music by Carlos Lopez. “Salsa is like rock and roll, something like opera and chant.”
The author says, “It’s a comedy, I wouldn’t call it a musical, but even though there are moments when the figures used in a musical come out, it’s not just that. First of all, the word that defines it is comedy because it’s purposeful. confronting the problems that concern us with laughter and humor“.
A leap into the void
After starting rehearsals in August, they continued this last week. “It was brutal as the last fireworks, like saying we had to do everything because we chose this show that was a little different and not at all traditional,” he emphasizes. Mila Garcia, leading with him a long acting career. “It’s about taking the positive out of insecurity.”
For Dolores Faraco It was a “leap into the void” because “it’s a bit of a risky comedy, we have to give a lot in it, we can’t stay half measures because without it it won’t work”.
They hope so. Currently, it has two more functions that are already closed: 29 October in Aigües and November 12 in MutxameI.
