The stage adaptation of the novel by Miguel Delibes 'Five hours with Mario' arrives tomorrow, Friday October 28 at 21:30 pm on stage at the Nuevo Teatro Circo de Cartagena, within the program of the Department of Culture of the City of Cartagena.
Five hours with Mario was released in November 1979, starring Lola Herrera triumph for long.
Over thirty years later, the work comes back on stage and still shaking now with the portrayal of actress Natalia Millán.
Again surprised his caustic irony, the depth of psychological and sociological perspectives, and the extent of his eye, comprehensive and critical at once.
The portrait of this Carmen Sotillo, that in one night in 1966 to guard the body of her husband, the profile also contains live set, suffering and commitment of an era and a stagnant Spain and sanctimonious.
Carmen recalls his life with the deceased and transparent in their posthumous reproach his narrowness, his repressed sexuality and latent resentment for having failed to overcome the status of middle-class aspirations.
The imposing presence of Natalia Millan gives other interesting qualities and brings a touch of class difference with respect to her husband, whose origin refers modest.
She gives a recital of restraint, wisdom and sobriety, and grows and grows as it goes her monologue insomniac, which adds an unprecedented dose of sensuality very well scheduled, a magnificent performance.
