What's it about

La Chana Teatro perform in this show three tales from 'El llano en llamas'. We do not know if there is a valid reason to venture once again into El llano en llamas, into Juan Rulfo's stories, as if this work so substantial, so apparently already discovered, were an infinite desert where, whether you search or not, you find buried ropes; and in that infinite nothing, how could one not want to pull on them? And once you pull, as if they bind you, and you no longer know if you cling to a hope or whether without hope you cling to nothing. Rulfo is that substance and that infinite desert; the infinite desert of substance. A desert is an infinity decomposed into infinite grains of sand. That grain that we shortsighted ones can glimpse as the thing most similar to the atom. And in that tremendous ignorance of science, one submerges in a dune, first known, then ignored, where the storms are greater than in the ocean; though on the plain there are only rivers and only sometimes; only when God prefers it to rain. We do not know the reason for this attraction to poverty, injustice, and orphanhood. We suppose there is something like a lignin, that substance that binds the fibres to make wood, and that substance is what commits us to watering a beautiful tree, even if it feeds on thick sap, on sap of dust. Age: Adults. Duration: 60 min. Venue: multipurpose room of the library. Free entry until capacity is reached.
