‘Casting Lear’

Teatre Lliure - Sala Espai Lliure

From 13/11/2024 to 01/12/2024

Improvisation. A self-fiction piece by Andrea Jiménez based on Shakespeare’s Lear, improvised every evening with a different actor. Fatherhood, love, listening and forgiveness.

Synopsis

This simulation-version ofKing Lear aims to open a door to thinking about how we interact with our fathers, biological and metaphorical, starting with William Shakespeare. It is self-fiction based on a classic, or a classic made into self-fiction, but hopefully neither. This is a play about our origins, about how everything that happened before us hounds us, even if we prefer to ignore it. About how we are fashioned by those who came before us. About how to invent a life that belongs to you without forgetting the past. About how to imagine other possible endings. It is also a recital, or an essay, the thing that happens before everything happens, the place just before something takes on its exact form. The precise moment when everything is still possible.

El meu pare és el Lear, però no ha entrat mai en un teatre. Jo soc la Cordèlia i soc directora. Cada nit busco un pare possible, un que sí que vulgui seure en un teatre i parlar. Va ser el gran èxit del Teatro de La Abadía l’abril passat: una peça d’autoficció d’Andrea Jiménez elaborada a partir del clàssic de Shakespeare (o és un clàssic autoficcionat?). Una sessió d’assaig irreverent, improvisada i lúdica, cada nit amb un actor diferent, a la recerca de la paternitat volguda.
