The Argentine actor Héctor Alterio comes to the Teatro Reina Victoria in Madrid on 21, 22 and 23 June with Una pequeña historia, the new play by Pentación Espectáculos, with dramaturgy by Ángela Bacaicoa and musical accompaniment by Juan Esteban Cuacci on piano.
On the basis of Una pequeña historia, a round trip, Buenos Aires-Madrid-Buenos Aires, Héctor Alterio brings back the memories of these years in poetry, music and emotion. Between love and humour, an evening of enjoyment with all the senses, from the hand of the actor who knows how to pierce the spectator with his incomparable voice.
A communion/celebration on stage, with an immense Héctor Alterio in this return full of memories and experiences in the poems of Cátulo Castillo and a spokesman for justice as León Felipe, among others. A show with dramaturgy by Ángela Bacaicoa, Alterio’s life partner, which tells the story of how Héctor, at the age of forty, in 1974, came to Spain to present the film La Tregua and when he wanted to return, there were no return flights for him. That is how Madrid turned out to be his prison and his salvation.
At that point in his life he had to adapt to other scenarios and change his accent, facing the pain of exile. Almost as a prop in those years, he let himself be moved by the poems of León Felipe, who like him was a man of the theatre and a political exile. He became a troubadour, touring the country, reciting these verses by the Spaniard which he also made his own.
In Una Pequeña Historia, Héctor recites tangos, the poetry in which he was carved as a child, and weaves the emotion of all these years between León Felipe, Borges, Catulo Castillo, Piazzolla, Horacio Ferrer, Hamlet Lima Quintana and Eladia Blázquez. Tickets can be purchased at this link.
