SOLITUDES

An elderly widowed man is in charge of his family. Not receiving the emotional affection needed, he just found on the streets as a companion card to a novice prostitute. The discovery by the son of a prostitute at home will cause a series of crucial events in the lives of these three characters.
Kulunka theater troupe gives us Inquires, its second successful montage after Andre and Dorine. A moving story that brings the same creative team, the same producers and the same actors, creating a new work of theater masks, without a word, it is the opposite of expressionless. A simple story but full of metaphors and reflections about human relationships, the need for affection, isolation and to what extent our prejudices are capable of impossible happiness of others and of course our own.
A journey through everyday universes, masterfully combining gravity with smile, moved, surprised and excited.

About 'Kulunka'

Kulunka The company Kulunka Teatro was created in 2010, in Euskadi, by Garbiñe Insausti and José Dault.

A vital theater, current, committed and connected with reality, accessible to all audiences.

After intense years of national tour and especially international, and after four successful seasons in the Fernán Gómez Theater in Madrid of "André and Dorine", and one of Solitudes, another season exhausting the localities of "Edith Piaf" in the Spanish Theater , two at the Teatre Poliorama in Barcelona with "André and Dorine", one at the LATC in Los Angeles with "André and Dorine" and four seasons in China from "Andre and Dorine", this young company from Euskadi has traveled 25 countries in 4 continents, including England, United States, Turkey, Nepal, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Uruguay, Cuba, China, Malaysia, Taiwan, Panama, Russia, Norway, Finland, Portugal, France, Germany, Italy, Poland ... sometimes returning to several of them, performing more than 800 functions.

Criticisms and press

"We will continue thinking about how they are able to make us laugh at the tragedy we are contemplating, that mineral loneliness that runs through the beautiful story. And in their mastery to make us feel better when we see their work. We are purified with their art and their sweet denunciation shown with the poetics of the flight of the botfly" Artez Magazine.

"The situations in which their characters are involved move us, the mistakes they make are familiar to us, their destiny concerns us. The actors, masked, are all three extraordinary: sometimes we try to guess who is playing who, but it doesn't matter. The fundamental thing is the rhythm that they give to the function and the emotional thickness of their efforts... A crystalline sensitivity runs through the entire function", El País.

"A silence is better than a thousand words in this bittersweet comedy about the ravages of loneliness. In front of the theater of blah, blah, blah, the eloquence of the gesture. A warm, long, heartfelt applause crowned the payment function prior to the premiere in Madrid of Solitudes, second silent show by Kulunka Teatro.” El País.

"Kulunka Teatro' has done it again with 'Solitudes', giving us a work of art impregnated with the same sensitivity and poetry as the first of his works, but with one more twist; a more elaborate montage and staging more complex, many more characters and with different profiles, and more locations where the story takes place. In 'Solitudes', Iñaki Rikarte moves the three actors - and their multiple masks - in a sublime way over eighty minutes, with a choreography perfectly meticulous and adjusted to the masterful score of Luis Miguel Cobo, author of AN AUTHENTIC JEWEL." EL TEATRERO.COM

"Solitudes tells us about our needs as social animals, about loss, about bad decisions, about our priorities... about life itself. And, again, the three actors who give life to all the characters move us deeply without say a single word. José Dault, Garbiñe Insausti and Edu Cárcamo delight us with their delicate and exemplary work. Their expressiveness is truly marvelous."devoim.net

"Solitudes speaks very seriously, making the spectator laugh and smile. It is pure sensitivity and stings in the throat" Volodia.es.

"Achieving the impossible and making us feel complicit in the adventure is one of the fantastic features of the Kulunka Theater Company: masks of fixed expression that, however, evolve with astonishing expressiveness, guided by a gestural theater technique that does not lose detail and that from every movement, however small it may seem, a feeling, a joke, a tragedy springs forth." Culturamas.es

"When José Dault, Garbiñe Insausti and Edu Cárcamo take off their masks and give us their excited smiles, we stand up, we applaud, we applaud: not only for how great creators they are, but for their generous way of producing such a complete theater that is capable of offering a moral lesson without being pedantic, of facing the shortcomings that we suffer in a way of life contrary to reason, without climbing any pulpit, from heart to heart." culturamas.es
