The living room Neruda of walk the square (Av. Corrientes 1660. CABA) is dressed in music, joy and a bit of nostalgia with the premiere of a new solo show Dan Breitman, I wanted a musical, so what?which opens this Thursday, February 2 at 10:15 p.m. The talented protagonist will be accompanied on stage by the pianist Dario Jalfin to tell a story self-referential: the avatars of an expressive child who dreamed of being Judy Gardland or Barbra Streisand while her peers played soccer.
And the first question arises alone before this scenario: Is it easier to talk regarding one or more complicated? “It is a more complex job. I don’t know if it’s the easiest. It is to go inside and see what happens to one. Yes, you have to win to tell certain things, expose yourself, open up. And I recognize that it gives a lot of satisfaction when those childhood things that were not good to go through are turned around. I set out to tell what I suffered in a playful way, with humor. In that sense, it is easy because a lot of time has passed, which allows me to tell it and order it.“, explains the beloved actor, dancer and singer in a telephone conversation. Without a doubt, one must have a lot of courage to expose one’s own privacy, and a lot of inner wealth to turn situations, which surely were not pleasant at the time, into comedy and fun for the viewer.
Dan is no stranger to cross-dressing shows or stand-up, but the general public knew him for his great character from the sitcom Beautifulthe stewardess Ignacio Lynch (“It was my first job on TV“, he remembers), which gave him another impulse in the self-management of his shows, at the same time that he participated in important musicals on the local scene such as Mina Che Cosa Sei or La Jaula de las Locas.
In this show, the title talks regarding music, surely the guiding thread of the plot, on which the protagonist and author reveals that he relies on “All kinds of rhythms: there are ballads, rock and pop songs, tango. Some are remade with a very Pepe Cibrián musical comedy style. We are giving the last adjustments for the premiere” of this Thursday the 2nd. And aesthetics have to accompany the idea of music hall: “Without a doubt! Since I’m a child playing, I’m wearing shiny joggers and the top is like a tailcoat. Also, Dario, the pianist, is almost like a penguin with a bow tie. On the other hand, the aesthetic is minimalist. I bet I played a lot with the lights and I had the pleasure of having a grand piano. Yes, clothing accessories are very important, they help me change my climate“, complete..
A few hours following the rerun (“I presented it in November and it went very well, it is as proven“), Dan claims to be happy, excited and eager for taking him to Paseo La Plaza: “This work deserved a bigger room. We make a good complement and I think the story has its potential for a bigger scenario. The identification of the public with what is counted will not be lacking. And I clarify that it is part of the past, I have a pretty good time now”.
By way of farewell, we ask you for a message for the viewer, and very much located in reality Breitman harangue: “If they have the possibility of choosing a show and investing in culture or entertainment, with I want a musical, so what?! I propose an option is fun. It has emotion, beautiful songs and dance, a beautiful aesthetic. It is a modern and sensitive work, I think you may find it quite attractive. I don’t know if there are so many sensitive materials on the billboard. It is a musical that is very much ours, very Argentine. It is a particular cobo”ends by clarifying that for now the functions will only be once a week.
We discount that the success and affection of the public will accompany him, as well as the applause at the end because only with his histrionics, sympathy and dedication he conquers the viewer. And surely he will do it more by giving us a part of his own childhood. Find more information regarding tickets here.
