After his success at the Teatro Romea, where he hung the 'no tickets' sign, Cartagena' A Fool in a Box ', directed by Carlos Santos, winner this year of Goya for best actor revelation for his role in' El Man of the thousand faces'.
A work that is part of the room scheduled by the Department of Culture of the City of Cartagena, which will be represented on March 18 at 9 pm at the Nuevo Teatro Circo.
The councilman of culture, David Martinez, accompanied this morning the actor, Pedro Segura and the author of the work, Martin Giner, in the presentation of the show, which has taken place in the ambiguous New Circus Theater.
Martínez wanted to emphasize the fact that the Cartagena people are "lucky that this work reaches Cartagena in one of its first stages, before going to the Alcala theater in Madrid," where it will be on display from April to June before following its Tour by Spain.
That is why the councilman has indicated that he hopes that the theater will be filled, as the Teatro Romea has already been filled, and that the work will once again pass through Cartagena.
Segura has fondly remembered his beginnings in the theater in Cartagena, in the cultural week of Vista Alegre, by the hand of the "worker priest" Antonio Bermejo, from where he left for Murcia and then to Madrid.
"I am a cartagenero who feels Cartagena and feels Murcia," he said before saying that while he loves the Teatro Romea, "being the ambiguous of the Nuevo Teatro Circo is the greatest", since it is where he began at age 14 And knows every corner of the theater that is part of his life.
"A fool in a box" "finished cooking in the Mar Menor", in the house Segura has in Los Urrutias, commented the actor as an anecdote.
For that reason the author dedicates the work to this locality and the actor.
Giner has indicated that in his works he looks for humor as a transmitter of ideas.
"A mixture between humor not of smile, but of laughter" that is interspersed with dramatic ideas, has explained.
The Argentine writer seeks with this work to surprise the viewer, and to leave "with the sensation, not that he saw something, but that something happened to him," he explained.
Pedro Segura, Luis Martínez Arasa and Macarena de Rueda are the protagonists of this adaptation of Martin Giner's text that, through comedy, suggests the existence of a society where men are divided into Notables, Big and Small.
One of these notables receives by mail a box supposedly sent by the Devil and invites a meeting in his house to a Small and a Large to discover if the magic properties of the box are real.
With much humor and irony, the work will follow these characters throughout a night where only the most cunning will survive.
