CARLOS LA ROSA: "Doing theater is difficult for all"

With just a quarter century of life, Carlos La Rosa, the simple and friendly producer and director Lock Out, written by Cesar Vallejo and winner of the prize for Best Editing of 2010 for Critical The Office has managed to attract attention as one of the young directors most promising at present. Formed in the specialty of Performing Arts at the Catholic University, he considers himself an actor, director and producer at a time, although management is prepared to study abroad this year, which is the area that interests you today. That

Vallejo is still valid, no doubt. "I read the book while preparing my final project for the Performing Arts in 2009, but I felt I still had no experience required" , but later, Carlos finished presenting the X Festival de Teatro Peruano ICPNA American made in Miraflores. "Ever since I read it I really liked, despite its density. Text is very realistic, even naturalistic, but was then reached by the images ". And so this young director managed aesthetic connection with the work. "He must have a very fast, very cinematic" . Also under the eight actors who play many characters each in the assembly, and eventually producing one of the most outstanding work in all of 2010.

The cast

To select the players for giving life to Lock Out , Carlos was based on two fundamental aspects. "First, they have the time, since a project of this magnitude required much trial, in the end we worked for 3 ½ months, 3 to 4 days a week, 4 hours each rehearsal," recalls . As a second condition needed to perceive that much-needed confidence in his cast, which meant a total commitment to the project. It was thus that the elect were Cecilia Collantes, Lenybeth Luna Victoria, Alana La Madrid, Raul Durand, Renzo Garcia, Javier Guerrero, and Alex Sandro Mori Tower. "He had previously worked with Cecilia and Leny" the first is his current partner and the second is a friend and classmate, also for the Performing Arts as Carlos. "The other I met in various works in which we participate together, except for Sandro La Torre, who discovered in the staging directed by Mario Ballon." How

actors collaborated in the staging of Lock Out? Carlos said that the secret of success of a work will always be the mutual trust of the cast with its director. "I encourage my actors to take risks, to test everything in every scene." have clear concepts is important to him, and handled with great respect for their players, especially considering their contributions when they do not necessarily take communion with them. "Her very clear things for each scene in advance, but the cast was enriched throughout the final product" he says.

Entertainment
Reflection versus
As is known, Lock Out tied for first place with the piece Catholic Girls , by decision of the jury, among whom were people like Ruth Escudero director, actor and director Sergio Llusera and Cultural Director ICPNA Fernando Torres. About this staging, Carlos has his own assessment. "I think we drew two very different proposals together," says on the above play, directed by Katie Valencia and written by Casey Kurtti. "The director chose not to address the controversial issue of the work (in this case, religion), thus focusing on the friendship of the girls. And resulted in a staging entertaining, but not questioning, that it did not stress the public. "

Carlos is important to deal with projects seeking the reflection in the viewer, as this is more difficult and risky undertaking. "I like to explore the aesthetic of a work, is the aspect that interests me more," he says. And can attest to this wealth of images, symbols and atmospheres generated along Lock Out. "Maybe now I see many works easier and less relevant, but what I seek is to investigate new ways of making theater, the form is very important to me as director."

The return of Lock Out

For those they could not see Lock Out , the young director tells us that the work will be replenished at the Alliance Francaise, February 12 to March 13, Thursday through Sunday at 8:00 pm "I think the best compliment I received, "enthuses , " was that my own teachers advised their students do the work. " Fill a regular theater room capacity is not easy, but Carlos is optimistic about the short season of five weeks gives you the space in Miraflores.

Carlos is also preparing to participate as an actor at the Festival "Out of the Box" of the Catholic, in the work "Warm and cold, "Angelica Gabriel (actress of the assembly), directed by Lucía Obando. "From my point of view as an actor, I consider that a good director must be demanding and generate empathy with the cast for Workgroups" says with conviction. "As director, I want my players have two basic qualities: responsibility and maturity, so allow me to work with confidence."

One final anecdote: a while Carlos went to the Alliance Française with five projects under the arm and the director in charge of receiving, probably due to his youth, before he laughed. "Making art is difficult for everyone," says convinced. However, this young director knows that everyone must do their utmost to achieve their goals, find their own way. "The first projects are financed by myself did not get support from anyone. I invested my money and my effort, and in a short time I have received many benefits and satisfaction. " And is that not only the Alliance Francaise, and approved two of its projects (a children's show and Lock Out), but the name sounds Carlos La Rosa as hard as one of the promises of the Peruvian theater, who hope obviously even more.

CARLOS LA ROSA: DIEGO LA HOZ



DIEGO LA HOZ: "The theater is generous"

And boy is generous with Diego theater la Hoz , voted a Best Director of 2010 for the work species, text authoring and the group Sara Joffré Clearance. This dramatic piece, involving Omar Del Aguila, Betzabeth Misme, Jhosep Palomino and Jonathan Oliver, was also awarded as the Best Play of the year, after the poll closed. "I feel it is a kind of recognition my work ", reflects the director. "It's a great responsibility, to assume a posture of science and consequence."

"People need a reference, and I think for many we are," reflects director Clearance. "I feel it also as respectful treatment towards me, I feel I have idealized, I find it very curious." Diego says he feels capable of directing the great productions at theaters currently fashionable (and boy is ready!), But if it does not is due primarily to their unrelenting desire not to betray their position or their principles . "I assure that 90% of actors are only temporary theater groups, waiting to be called the Isil to go running, I do not work that way, " accurate.

theater group

Diego claims not identify with the commercial theater and that is why, today works in the "underground." "My group (space) has a certain posture, with a defined ideology," said . "The big problem is that Peruvians do not have capacity for reflection and self-criticism about what we do, that is why we do not take positions" . He left a while ago space Ovalo Balta Barranco for ideological reasons, in order to find a theater with an identity "on the other side." "Through Groupality seek to be better people," reflects . "We share the same space, we laughed together, cried together, live together. It is very important doubt, if we hesitate, we die. " Diego says

disagree with the term of Independent Theatre. "does exist in Argentina" he says. "As a result of a political struggle for several years, in which people were not in accordance with the commercial theater, and achieved get subsidies for alternative theater groups, in Peru, we have no financial support. "

claims have never regretted not having directed some assembly, as it believes that all means a valuable learning experience. "Suddenly I may not have liked the whole final product by directing some work, but I do not regret having taken the stage any" he says with conviction. "It is important to do everything I've done, and so I find my own way, playing or working frivolous issues like what people do nothing wrong, however, are rewarding experiences," says .

polls "Best of the Year"

on existing surveys on "Best Theatre" which appeared each year to the Dean of the National Press Diego has a particular viewpoint. "I figured in those annual accounts in 2003 and 2004, with two works: animal most tender, which premiered at the Mocha Graña and The triptych delight at the Casa Amarilla de Barranco, of course, that was before the appearance of La Plaza Isil. " And in the last years, the director seems to be no free space for the" researchers "responsible for conducting surveys and balances daily, despite having released successful and effective valuable pieces, such as bed Four stories or Demons in the skin, to cite two examples. For Diego, it is unthinkable that premiered works in alternative spaces now appear in the pages of El Comercio, and that apparently does not care. "It's very interesting to see how changing relationship between the media and the performing arts through history," says the director with 12 years of uninterrupted work, who prefers to opt for alternative or roaming areas, believing that Lima's most important rooms not approve his theatrical projects. Diego

also feel very happy for the victory in the poll Betzabeth Misme as best supporting actress for species . "Betzy is a very talented girl, out of the Open Space workshops and is in the midst of an interesting process," stresses . At the moment (says Diego) she is doomed to the creation of a space within her community called Scenic. But this more later, when the Office Critical the interview. "On the other hand, continues Diego, " I note the support we provide and Pold Caparó Gastello Paco, teachers and friends of the Theatre Club of Lima, as always recommend students to continue her acting training in the open space. "

Projects Projects

Diego for next year, in addition to publishing his works and memories include the organization by its group III Theatertreffen in Barranco, where plans call for a critical group of Argentine youth AINCRIT researchers (Argentina Association of Theatre Research and Criticism). "Promoting a round table with them would be very interesting for our theater movement" says Diego, who met this association in one trip and it seemed an excellent idea that these critics we share their experiences and knowledge about the so-called theater the periphery in Argentina. And the exclusive

tells us that in the middle of next year, plans to pay a fitting tribute to Sara Joffre, our tireless promoter and theater critic and also one of the most respected playwrights in the country. "I was asked the direction of a work of Sara, written almost 40 years, called Story about Foam Circle, a beautiful love story, and I gladly accepted. " Diego not only be responsible for release in the auditorium the coffee in San Isidro, but also plans to make a par, a photographic exhibition of Sara, who hopes to get the importance that our author deserves. Diego

leaves us with a question: "The theater is generous and gives back all our effort and sacrifice sooner or later." And you are absolutely right Clearance director, because every artist who gives himself to his passion, reap fruit in the future. Proof of this is Diego La Hoz, an undeniable and valuable reference for our alternative theater. Sergio Velarde
