In right hands, the great ones have the potential to scale dramaturgical. Brecht magnified, if possible, to Galileo, and Casona Quevedo, providing them with the breath of life that prohibits aseptic historical essay and theater demands. "Beaumarchais" in this sense, is a biography, and it is more than the previous examples, "but above all a portrait of a passionate man, passionate about everything: women, literature and politics. And, above all, life and libertad.El author of "The Barber of Seville" and "The Marriage of Figaro" was a watchmaker, a lawyer, owner, arms dealer, playwright and spy. He was imprisoned, was married three Sometimes agents put their services at the service of King Louis XV, he starred in a famous trial that brought down a government, he participated with his fortune in the French support for the independence of the American colonies fed from his works the French Revolution, survived the Terror of Robespierre and eventually passed on to posterity by his two comedies, famous in part by Mozart and Rossini.
the middle of last century Sacha Guitry made this candy in front of the child Flotats high school, hoping to premiere it took sixty years to come, but had about film version, "Beaumarchais , the insolent. " It was a tantalizing treat in bright colors that the English director, another great insolence, performs with enthusiasm and devoured in two hours of lively, humorous and exaggerated drama. Bufo at times, perhaps over-grazing is allowed on the vaudeville stage of the duke cuckold, and comes at the end of the "commedia dell'arte" - but the costume is good recipe for the weight of history not to fret viewer.
Flotats, at this point, is, like Beaumarchais, a character summed up in his name. A great actor, here proves once again with a collection of emotions and reactions to the height of the greats. Is perfect, funny, charming and egregious, as it must be your own Beaumarchais. But Flotats is also something more: a style. Lover French period ranging from seventeenth to nineteenth know that the formula of two actors and two chairs, made in "Dinner" or "Meeting of Young Pascal Descartes' runs. So 'Beaumarchais' opts for a change: thirty actors and two chairs. Oh, and one ... Scenery "? Since then, the action created by Ezio Frigerio and Massimo Listri is ingenious: beautiful projections that take us from Paris to London. But projections to the end of the day. Something more was spent on English and Arriaga Theatre co-production in costumes by Franca Squarciapino Versailles.
brightness does not exclude Flotats Where is a list that allows Constantino Romero and Maria Adánez on anecdotal paper. Because he is none other than Benjamin Franklin, and her first lover know of Beaumarchais. But is this and only this, the protagonist, while secondary characters are great satellites of his genius, with Peter as the faithful biographer Casablanc Gudin of Brenellerie and Carmen Conesa as intelligent lover Marie-Therese Willermaulaz, both rounds but also aid Flotats chamber, which reserves the winning role.
plane alone briefly steals the Chevalier d'Eon fun Raúl Arévalo, in a game of sexual ambiguity anthology. On stage, the life of Pierre Augustine Caron de Beaumarchais (1732-1799) happens in episodes linear, almost the only downside to this text somewhat hagiographic-liners, especially the protagonist, is the lack of dramatic unity in a succession of anecdotes that make a portrait. But the curtain falls and has not missed. Beaumarchais Flotats and theater have been made and smart and that's what counts.
