From tomorrow Saturday until 26 January, the Teatro Fernando de Rojas presents the play War & Love, inspired by Tolstoy’s War and Peace.
Isabel Genis, Raúl Martín, Leyre Morlán, Alejandro Navarro, Pablo Neira, Javier Orán and Mar Roldán perform this play, which presents the conflict between love and war in an affair that transcends any country and any era. Seven young people of different nationalities meet in Paris in 2023 for a European youth meeting. An unforeseen event will lead them to take unprecedented decisions and positions on love, friendship, betrayal and war in a fast-paced, action-packed theatrical thriller that will change their lives forever. In War and love, peace does not exist: peace is nothing more than the latent stage of an everlasting war, inherent to human beings. However, as in War and Peace, love rises and reveals itself as the unique force capable of turning the flow of history in favour of hope.
Carlos Be draws freely from Lev Tolstoy’s War and Peace to bring to the stage the threads of the European conspiracies that have shaken the continent since the annals of history: what is war, how is it declared and how does it affect us? What differences separate us to the point of driving humanity to kill each other? Be also directly questions the viewer: what would you do if your country declared war?
