The Teatro de La Abadía (calle Fernández de los Ríos, 42) presents until next 12 October its new production: Los amores feroces, based on texts by Octavio Paz, with dramaturgy by Jorge Volpi and staging and original idea by Rosario Ruiz Rodgers.
The work addresses “love, eroticism and sexuality in the different stages of life”, according to Ruiz Rodgers on the montage, whose aesthetic refers to the work of the Mexican painter and sculptor Vicente Rojo. The cast of interpreters, consisting of Lucía Quintana, Leonardo Ortizgris, Isabel Pamo and Germán Torres, is influenced by the work of the Mexican Nobel Prize for Literature, as well as by ideas about the different ways of loving and wanting to be loved or loved.
The two actresses of the montage speak in tune with this idea. Isabel Pamo, who plays Elena Garro, the first wife of Octavio Paz, points out that “although it is also a way to claim an important figure of the most forgotten magic realism as Elena Garro, by giving her space in the life of Paz, her role in this work is to tell us about the first stages of love. It embodies the love, the unexpected jealousy, the passionate… A more muddy love, less reflective, compared to other characters that appear in other stages”. For Lucía Quintana, “I think the work is a dissertation about love, the search for love, the different ways of loving and also helps us to think, also with the body, how to love better”.
