Nostalgia: simple romance between writer and dancer
Based on a true story, the work Nostalgia , written, directed and starring Luis Enrique Cornejo and presented by the Horizon Theatre group, tells the story of a young José Carlos Mariategui (Romualdo Travezaño), before becoming a renowned writer and National Socialist politician, who captivated the Swiss sensuality of the dancer Rouskaya Norka (Pink Micaela Távara), the along with other intellectuals convinced Lima to dance at dawn the "Funeral March" of Chopin in the Cemetery Master Priest in full 1917, only to be imprisoned for the scandal. Presented at the British satellite audiences, Cornejo meets to present a clean staging, austere and direct, which superficially explores the romantic relationship between writer and dancer and the political background of the first mention, doing surprisingly perhaps a much deeper in actions as in the dramatic development of the characters. However, this work represents a clear improvement over its previous assembly as playwright and director.
After Trances (2007), premiered at the National School of Drama (ENSAD), Cornejo deftly corrects major faults to Nostalgia: considerably reduces the duration of the staging, dispenses with dialogue and eliminates unnecessary the constant power cuts for ordering the scenes. Nostalgia flows seamlessly, the trio of actors never leaves the stage and includes a media element that helps to recreate the show done by the dancer in the cemetery. Távara Travezaño actors and grateful you print a dose of ingenuity to their relationship on stage and change of registration to Cornejo precision, though must take care with greater emphasis the volume of your voice.
Horizon Theatre Group has already announced its next assembly: Pretty eyes, ugly pictures of Mario Vargas Llosa, a challenge for a group that is slowly consolidating within the medium. A note also the work of the British Peruvian Cultural Association, which has been offering free performances to an audience hungry for culture, as well as improving their audiences and support youth theater groups that deserve a chance to compare their performances with viewers.
