story of a man: very personal work of Daniel Dillon
Adapted and directed in a free version by the playwright and director Daniel Dillon, a man History, written by English Borias Trauben, is a theatrical performance with dynamic successfully exploring our eternal difficulty generate bonding in the midst of hardship and crisis, through the story of a young soldier (Fito Valles) and its complex relationship with an old repressive (Angelita Velasquez) and a distraught woman (Patricia Biffi). The plot and story development is relegated to the background, as the director proposes a strong emphasis on the inner life of these battered characters and the dark interaction between them.
The performance, with a lighting design similar to that of his unconventional adaptation of Roberto Zucco few years ago, playing with shadows, silence and the bodies of the actors, rather than impacting the scarce recite texts. Some pictures are disturbing: women seeking death in a bucket of water, man succumbing to the temptation of a body tempting and repulsive at once, and the old woman complaining of care that we try to provide women. Gisella Estrada, charged with the production and operation of lights, and Pamela Bardalez, responsible for live music, coexist in this grim world and miserable, with scenery and props appropriate simple and functional. Valles
convinces her transition from child soldier wounded and defeated, Biffi achieved the right balance between madness, the coarseness and sexuality in his character, and Velasquez looks with a superb characterization of an old bitter and mad. Story of a man then becomes a purely sensory experience, rich in images and sounds: water dripping into a bucket, her blouse stained with blood, the throaty laugh of the old, sick man's cough, the crumpled aluminum table lamp, the shadow of the cage to move around the characters, erratic cello notes, the eye patch of women and the constant and protracted pauses, covering density and squalor to the staging. A very personal work of Daniel Dillon is offered by the group No Line Theatre Space in the Warehouse Area.
