This is the national premiere of this fun montage of international success, which goes directly to the heart of the audience, and will take place next Friday, March 22 and Saturday, March 23, both days at 9:00 p.m.
Half of the tickets are already sold.
The cast of the representation is currently rehearsing in the municipal auditorium of Guadalupe and testing the scenery.
'Volvió una noche' is a comedy by Eduardo Rovner whose first performance took place in Montevideo, in 1993. He has toured many stages around the world and, for the first time, he arrives in Spain, with his national premiere in Murcia.
It is one of the best contemporary works written in Spanish.
It raises issues such as the demystification of death, determinism, the influence of the past in the present or the conflict between tradition and modernity, but always from humor and paradox.
The work has the scenography full of imagination of Francisco Leal, the lighting of Jesus Palazón and the sincere and effective staging of César Oliva.
The cast of the play features actors of the stature of the Murcian Carlos Santos (who also acts as assistant director), the veteran and prestigious interpreter Beatriz Carvajal, the Cartagena Pedro Segura, Berta Hernández and Daniel Ortiz.
Synopsis
The plot focuses on the figure of Manuel, pedicurist and member of a musical ensemble that plays tangos and boleros, which after the death of his mother, Gloria, diverts the course of their desires.
Her insecurity means that for ten years she has constantly gone to the cemetery to tell her stories that have to do not with reality, but with what she longed for.
But the moment he tells her of his desire to marry Dolly, she invokes the devil and gets up from the grave to meet her future daughter-in-law and make sure of the path he has taken in life.
