The sleep of reason is one of the most outstanding works of Antonio Buero Vallejo, key author of the twentieth century Spanish scene.
It features the latest week stay of Goya in Madrid, before self-exile in Bordeaux, France, in late 1823.
These are dark times in Spain because the absolutist policy of Ferdinand VII, in which the Aragonese painter lived haunted by his fears, obsessions and contradictions.
All this is reflected admirably in their famous black paintings, made in the walls of the Quinta del Sordo.
The issue led to Buero to try Francoist censorship through allegory rich in images and ideas.
This book warns, as nowhere else, the "immersion effect", by which the author places the viewer in the same perspective as the protagonist, in this case, the same feeling that he suffered deafness Goya.
The Sleep of Reason is the third co-production that holds the Teatro Circo Murcia Murcia with renowned companies, such as Railway.
After The House of Bernarda Alba, Garcia Lorca, by Alquibla Theatre, and sexual perversions in Chicago, David Mamet, by The Walking Theatre, is easy to assume that the drama of Buero Vallejo achieved a similar reception to the above.
Always released in TCM, these productions have moved out beyond the limits of our community, and always with applause.
The next co-production will be in February next 2013 with the play Ay, Carmela!, Jose Sanchis Sinisterra, by Nacho Vilar Productions.
