We premiere “BLAST”, the new creation written and directed by Andrea Jiménez and Noemi Rodríguez, TEATRO EN VILO.
This fun play is a co-production of the National Dramatic Center (CDN), Teatro en Vilo and Barco Pirata, distributed by Proversus, which premieres at the Teatro María Guerrero in Madrid - CDN (big room) from May 6 to 19 June 2022. This new work will follow the same previous lines of comedy, current affairs and originality.
We are in crisis. Climate, economic, health, democratic, educational, migratory, financial, existential, identity, spiritual, romantic crisis, of the sex-gender system, of love, of capitalism. Systemic crisis, global crisis, chronic crisis.
While some strive to deny them, others celebrate the coming apocalypse, but there is a third way in the face of the debacle: thinking of new utopias together.
Blast is an invitation to use theater as a space from which to think and debate beyond words the great problems of our time, from gender to democracy, including work, ecology or love. With a format that mixes a musical, an audition and a political rally, Blast is an unlikely and eclectic meeting of young people between the ages of 16 and 26 who share the audacity to express their small and big ideas to change the world on stage. An exercise towards utopia, which aspires to a self-fulfilling prophecy, or at least to a spasm that awakens the imagination from yes, and not from neglect. Blast is an essay in motion, a party, a gathering, a political-emotional office, a musical, a convention of scholars, a crisis cabinet, a mass, a rally, a ring, a messy manifesto, a blow to the table. , an exorcism, a hymn to divergence, a projectile into the future. The impossible made matter.
The show does not plan to go on tour, but it has raised the public of the Teatro María Guerrero in Madrid day after day, and they have left us some precious comments on the boards that we leave in the entrance hall of the theater.
