Delights family life 
Last Friday, 16 July was the press release "Phaedra's Love" of British playwright Sarah Kane directed by Mariano Stolkiner . The work is presented in the courtroom Abroad (Valentín Gómez 3378) which opened with this work. Two high-stakes
: to present a material such as Kane, interesting but intense and inaugurate a new chamber. Two decisions, however, we do well to independent theater.
Kane's work is "a modern and original rewrite of the myth of Phaedra intermingled, as put into a blender, with texts such as The Stranger by Camus and Brecht's Baal. What is clear is that if Kane draws on the historical drama, classical tragedy is to talk about what we as a society today, "explains Stolkiner in the press release. But, in turn, the director makes a rereading of the text of the British to place the Fedra and family conflicts in Argentina today.
The work becomes very intense at times mixing black humor with drama, with violence as a cloak that covers everything: institutional violence and personal violence. At times, the viewer can feel invading private spaces of the Royal family (and so real). The dialogues constantly invite reflection and criticism because of several of the institutions that shape our society: family, church, government, the "people."
can hardly feel you are not mobilized the theme that he proposes to lay. Phaedra, consumed with love for Hippolytus decides to talk openly about their feelings despite the warnings of her daughter Strophe. Hippolytus, whose life revolves around television, casual sex and junk food, violently rejects what leads to Phaedra accuses him of raping her, after which she commits suicide. And if the verbal and physical violence was a constant until then, what happens then attempts to show how we all have some violence contained in that only needs a scapegoat to get outside. All this showed it bluntly: if you have to insult to insult and whether it has to be blood, he may have.
Although images Prerecorded that project to the end of the work cause some confusion, a feeling of abrupt cut about everything that was happening until then, the play works very well and has moments that are among the highlights of modern drama.
The cast consists of Pablo Cure, with a brilliant interpretation of Hippolytus; Alejo Mango, playing Theseus, the priest and the doctor Monica Driollet as Phaedra and Flavia Sinsky as Stanza.
"Phaedra's Love" is presented every Friday at 21.30 in room Abroad (Valentín Gómez 3378 in the Abasto neighborhood, 3980-1147 for reservations), brand new and very nice and comfortable, actually.
