“The tactile liquid”, paradigmatic work by Daniel Veronese, prominent theater artist and one of the founders of the Periférico de Objetos, returns to the scene this week, in Bariloche, under the direction of Fernando Aragón, an actor and theater director with a long and recognized career in the region.
With the performances of Alicia Tealdi, Julio Benítez, Javier Cattaneo, Adrian Beato, Pablo Beato and Virginia Salamida, The play will offer three performances, this Thursday, Friday and Saturday, at 16:30 (see below).
In “The tactile liquid” set in the legendary House Frey (Av. Bustillo km 1.5,) the betrayals and conflicts of a trio made up of Nina Hagëken, a former theater actress in decline; her husband, theater critic Peter Expósito; and her brother-in-law, Michael Exposito, a budding film actor.
In the very Chekhovian setting of Casa FreyFernando Aragón stages this work that challenges Chekhov and at the same time refers us at every moment to the author of La dama del perrito, El jardín de los cerezos or Tío Vanya.
Casa Frey is a key character in this work. She and her surroundings (midwinter, blizzard) are the ones that provide the flashes of a melancholic and decadent Chekhovian atmosphere »
Luisa Peluffo, winner of the Emecé Award (1989) for her novel “Todo eso oyes”.
The story is structured as each character remembers moments of his life that act as triggers for latent conflicts. Suddenly we are immersed in a crazy anti-Chejovian climate in which comedy is the other side of tragedy. And where displacement outside a traditional theater hall emphasizes the powerful presence of dramatic play.
Because this comedy with dark overtones doesn’t focus so much on the vicissitudes of a delirious domestic triangle, seasoned with bestiality. Nina’s hilarious story (other side of The Lady with the Dog) and Peter and Michael is just a pretext to tell us with Zygmunt Bauman, author of Liquid Modernity, that for fluids the only thing that counts is…the flow of time more than the space they can occupy: that space that, following all, they only fill for a moment…
Unrepeatable flow of time and life arrested in the images of cinema and photography. And above all, a tribute to an ephemeral art like few others, the theater and its incomparable experience marked by the liquid, lively and tactile current between actors and audience.
Overwhelming performance by Alicia Tealdi who gives us a wonderful Nina Hagëken and notable performances by Julio Benitez and Javier Cattaneo, who second her with experienced solvency and rhythm. They are joined by Adrián Beato, a charming demiurge in his role as Russian host, effectively seconded by Virginia Salamida and Pablo Beato, all of them arrested in the past from one of the founding buildings of San Carlos de Bariloche: Casa Frey.
And I dwell on it because Casa Frey is a key character in this work. She and her surroundings (midwinter, blizzard) are the ones that provide the flashes of a melancholic and decadent Chekhovian atmosphere. Through its creaky wooden floors and somewhat dilapidated environments we move like voyeurs or witnesses of another era, following the actors.
This choice and the talent of Fernando Aragón, director of memorable shows among which I especially remember his unforgettable staging of the Opera de Calle Albatri in the dramaturgical version of Alejandro Finzi, premiered right here in the Camping Musical forest in 1991, is not surprising. .
