Next Monday, September 29 at 7.30 pm, the Teatro del Barrio (calle Zurita, 20) rescheduled the play ¡Ay, Carmela! , by José Sanchis Sinisterra.
This famous comic drama tells how Carmela and Paulino are a couple of actors who mistakenly cross the line separating the two opposing sides of the Spanish Civil War. Both artists will be forced to improvise a theatrical evening to celebrate the defeat of the “enemy” in the village of Belchite, a town in Zaragoza that the National Army has just “liberated”. However, what begins as a fun tribute to the victors ends as a tragic comedy.
¡Ay, Carmela! is a work where death and life are confused thanks to timely temporary breaks that move us from the past to the present and vice versa. The unanimous void in which the plot takes place is at the same time a universal space in which loneliness, anger, fear and injustice go hand in hand with nostalgia, complicity, love and memory.
Under the direction of Yolanda Porras, the play features actors Guillermo Serrano and Paula Iwasaki. Tickets can be purchased at this link. You can also buy your tickets in advance at the ticket office. Open from one hour before each show.
