A modern Spanish play, performed on many world stages, has reached the Russian audience. The play is directed by the Spaniard Magui Mira, who infused the production with temperament, sensuality, and expressiveness. This is a story about actors forced to exist in wartime conditions. The action takes place in March 1938. However, the play is not about war. It is, after all, a tale of love. The focus is on the relationship between the actors Carmela and Paulino, who are forced to give elegant performances to an audience of captive soldiers in a besieged city. They are simple and completely unstarred artists who have to survive in these terrible inhuman conditions. By the will of fate, only one of them remains alive. Having lost a loved one, he must get used to a different life, cope with his pain, sorrow, and loneliness. This is a very poignant and touching story of the relationship between a man and a woman, whose well-being was interfered with by fate. A number of questions arise before the hero and the viewer. Can art rise against death? Can love protect a person from fear? Is it possible to continue loving even after the death of a loved one? Where to draw strength and energy to move forward, towards one's destiny? For more performances in St. Petersburg, visit our website in the theater section.
