The Teatro Circo Murcia (TCM) receives this Friday, January 31 (9:00 p.m.), the Argentine company Timbre 4 with 'Next', a love story in the distance written and directed by Claudio Tolcachir (Buenos Aires, 1975 ).
This show, which speaks of love but also of loneliness, is the first of the new General Ticket of the TCM.
After its premiere in Spain, at the end of last 2019 at the Autumn Festival of Madrid, 'Next' arrives in Murcia starring Lautaro Perotti and Santi Marín so that the public faces questions like what happens in the body when affection occurs always far away or if we can love without touching, without smelling, without knowing the skin ...
'Next' investigates the links based on distance and is born from the moment in which communication - through the telephone or computers - is cut, the false sensation of occupying the same space is broken and loneliness floods it everything.
But it is also the construction of a link accepting that distance, building on it.
From the hand of two characters that become, for each other, the only thing they have in the world.
Convinced that one can fall in love in any way, Tolcachir created this text to talk about the experience of being away from everything, of living the most intense emotions without a present body.
Births, deaths, love, sex ... All told by two actors who are together on stage but separated by thousands of kilometers;
told through the poetry of the theater, which for the director and playwright "is the crudest area to tell a distance as unreal as the proximity generated by Skype".
Claudio Tolcachir, a key figure in Argentine independent theater, is one of the most established directors of the performing arts not only in Latin America, but also in Spain.
He is the founder of the company Timbre 4, with which he directs, since 2001, the homonymous cultural space of Buenos Aires, one of the great references of theater in Spanish.
Winner of numerous awards, among his most successful works staged with Timbre 4 is 'The omission of the Coleman family', which was represented at the TCM in 2017. Two years earlier, in October 2015, the Argentine company had already debuted at the Teatro Circo Murcia with 'Dynamo'.
