Absurd Theater until 31st of August

Last Friday the play La cantante calva (The bald-headed singer) of Eugene Ionesco and under the direction of Fabián Sales of the theatre Teatro Dionisio in Heredia had its debut.
This play belongs to the absurd theatre represented by the group Terruño Espressivo and disposes of a cast headed by the experienced Manuel Ruiz and María Bonilla, who represent the couple Smith.
This comedy belongs to the theatre of the absurd in which nothing that happens seems to be logic.
Therefore, many things that happen in the scene do not make sense but are full of humor: a couple seated on a WC, a refrigerator which everybody opens although its empty or conversations held in a bed in the living-room.
This play tries to touch the lack of communication between couples, young ones as well as those of many years.
The couple Smith is the best mirror in order to show this problem. They have been living together for many years. However they are not able to sit down and talk like two civilized persons.
The situations will lead to laughter in the viewers. The reason? Many will not be able to avoid laughing when they see the behaviour of the protagonists and listen to their word plays, which do not lead to nothing.
Just a last remark: If you wish to know why we haven’t talked about the cantante calva until now, you will have to discover the answer seated on one of the seats of the theatre Dionisio.
The season of this play, which had been presented for its first time in 1950, will be on Saturday and Sunday finishing on 31 of August.
When will you see the play?
