Performance "THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING CALLED ERNESTO"

Description

SILVIA MARSÓ AND PABLO RIVERO STAR IN OSCAR WILDE'S FUNNY COMEDY
One of the most acidic and fun portraits of social hypocrisy that have ever been made.

Wilde wrote a perfect nod full of dramaturgical wisdom and vital intelligence. With his self-conscious responses he makes the truth explode in the faces of the spectators, who feel constantly challenged.

Paco Nieva says that The Importance of Being Earnest is "a perfect theater dream, a ruthless and eccentric comedy, perfect, beautiful and dreamlike like the life of a rose in the strange walls of a vertical garden." A delicate rose that reminds us of the ephemeral and revealing nature of beauty and life.

Wilde wrote a perfect nod full of dramaturgical wisdom and vital intelligence. With his self-conscious responses he makes the truth explode in the faces of viewers who feel constantly challenged.

Wilde explores a large number of territories through which his characters wander: love, desire, origins, commitment, hypocrisy, identity and, above all, freedom, his beloved freedom, to be who he was. , and that led him to prison shortly after writing The Importance of Being Earnest. This feeling of freedom is present throughout the performance. And perhaps the clearest embodiment of this freedom is seen in two of the female characters, Gwendolen and Cecily, who live their dream life with as much or more intensity than their real life. Where are the limits of each of us? Why do we censor ourselves? How can we become fully ourselves?

Although it may be difficult to see, since we are faced with a luminous comedy, within its importance... there is also a strong death drive. Like any work of art that resonates with us, after more than a hundred years of its creation, what Wilde explains to us about how to live is deeply linked to the fact that this existence (as far as we know) only happens once and that our "staying" in this world only makes sense if we become free.
