IN THE GARDEN OF MONICA: the undeniable force of Sara Joffré
Our independent theater owes much to Sara Joffré. Owner of a strong spirit, passionate and persistent, our Sara is probably not liked by many, but the debt we have is clear and huge, sustained throughout the work being done by younger people for decades and for his tireless efforts to share their experience with others. That's why this year, his first two works have been carried to the stage, as a tribute. The first was tale around a circle of foam , who started with a certain disadvantage, but that came to fruition thanks to the skill of the director Diego La Hoz and his group Free Space in the auditorium of the coffee-SE. And that handicap was born from its opening back in 1962 at the Theatre Club of Lima, where Ciro Alegria gave him the "blessing" to his work in the garden mate Monica, released in conjunction with tale about a circle of foam, both under the leadership of Alonso Alegría.
And just In the garden of Monica is the second work released so far this year, by the group Malioumba Theatre. His latest movie, the Youth Board of the Alliance Française (2003) directed by Ernesto Cabrejos and Teatro Auditorio Miraflores (2009) directed by Gustavo Cabrera, managed to give a personality to the history of this child, which can have up to eighty years (age limit imposed by the author) and playing in a horrible garden, with dry trees, dead leaves and dead birds, imagining an unreal world, always in the shadow of his castrating mother. The unexpected arrival of two completely unrelated to their world, completely alter his fantasy, but Seed germinate imagination newcomers, coming full circle with an abrupt and embarrassing end.
Young director Mirella Quispe, with studies in ENSAD like their actors, great space advantage offered by the court of the AAA: the columns, the auditorium door and barred windows are used effectively to develop the story. My Michelena created with much aplomb to an unreasonable and wandering Monica, achieving distinguish various levels in their performance during the opening monologue, imprinting his own style and scoring distance of the last performers of the character: Maria Carbajal (2003) and Daisy Sanchez (2009). Also notable is the participation of Maribel Velásquez in the role of the girl, who is very honest in his initial disbelief, and then continue the fantasies of Monica with the appearance of the Child, well played by Miguel Torres. The address does innovate in some aspects of the construction of the characters and their actions, while respecting the author's original text. Without doubt, this year has allowed the public, thanks to this show and now presented in the coffee-SE, discover the birth of a playwright and advocate of capital importance for our theater environment.
