The play is the Goldberg’s variations, it took
place from the 19 of October to the 11 of December at the theatre Rialto of
Valencia. Now we are going to talk about the company, the distribution, and the
artistic and technical personnel.
DRAMATIS
PERSONAE:
Mr. Jota: As it says in the pamphlet is "a director
of scene divine, and demonic simultaneously, paternal, tyrannical,
authoritarian, jealous, charming and hateful". He enchants the sound track
of the Variations of Goldberg of Bach that uses the spectacle throughout
modifying melody, harmony and rhythm. He does in one of the passages of the
bible like Aaron and when he speaks by the microphone it is as if it made the
voice of God.
Goldberg: He is the protagonist. He is the direction
assistant and also interprets some characters like Moises and the same Jesus.
He is a person who takes his work with a few importance, he is educated and
considerate with the others.
Raamah: He interprets papers like Caín,
Adan, Abraham and is one of the angels of hell. He is thin and he does not give to shame anything.
Masch: He always does what Raamah says. He
interprets Abel, the serpent, the Abraham's wife (Sara) also is another one of
the angels. He is fat and he is less demanding than Raamah.
Jafet: He is an author dissatisfied. He
plays the papeer of angel, of smoke, Isaac and also he is angel of the hell. He
is very graceful.
Mari: She is the cleaner and Mr Jota's
lover. She is very likeable, always is
cleaning, at the end has a paper like virgin.
Ernestina Van Veen: She is the manager of atrezzo. She
is very effective and she likes all perfect and she gets upset if is not
everything as she had planned it.
Teresa Tormentina: She is the actress. She plays the paper of Eva, that has been costing to her much because she must undress, also of Maria Magdalena and is another one of the angels. Mr Jota is in love with her.
Angels of hell: They are the musicians who sing in
direct and cheer the play. Their songs are raised in tone and with rhythm that
makes participate to the audience and does that each one when it finishes
applauds.
SCENE:
The scene is not covered by any curtain and you
see the borders. There is a plank in the center that it changes the scenery
according to the scene. To the left there is a table type office with two
chairs and the bible. To the right another moveable wall turning the moveable
walls changes to the scenery and scene.
ATREZZO:
The atrezzo changes according to the scene but
what it is used more are the moveable walls that each one of this decorated do
a different form. They also use toys to make the coffer of Noe, cardboard ewes,
a drop curtain with sixteen flags until the three wood crossings.
CLOTHES:
The clothes were the same as we can use every
day, for example Mr Jota were dress with a black shirt and black jeans, but
also were others clothes more ridiculous. That stands out more is the clothes
of Los Angeles of hell which they go of rockers
ILLUMINATION:
The illumination was composed by the spotlights
that can be seen since there are no drop curtains and always with lights of
colors that help the scenery of the scene. Everything is very modern.
PERSONAL
OPINION:
It has been one of best plays than I have seen
this year, the critic that does to the bible is very good since as it says the
pamphlet is an explosive mixture of ethics, lyricism, violence, sex, action and
philosophy. Also I have liked because
it shows the effort to us that makes the actors to teat a play and all the work
that it takes.
