'Darwin's tortoise' is, without doubt, Carmen Machi.
The criticism falls at your feet when they see action.
All agree: her performance is flawless.
Ernesto Caballero directs an original text by Juan Mayorga, the latest National Theater Award, which is reviewed in a particularly personal universal history showing a marked agnosticism about the human being.
The popular actress, television plays Aida, will tread the boards of the Nuevo Teatro Circo Cartagena on Thursday 15 May.
Tickets cost between 15 and 18 euros.
Mayorga created this story from a Photonews published in a Spanish newspaper that, on reading it, was shocked when he discovered that one of the tortoises that Charles Darwin had moved to Britain as an object of study met 175 years, becoming the highest animal oldest in the world.
A fact that Mayorga was thinking that if he had escaped from the garden to explore scientific world, that animal would see the appointment of Popes, 35 United States presidents, two World Wars, the October Revolution and Perestroika and therefore come to understand the vast capacity of evil and stupidity of human beings, said in an interview with the playwright.
'Darwin's tortoise', sung by Carmen Machi, Vicente Díez, Susana Hernandez and Juan Carlos Talavera, also born in the proposal stage director and playwright Ernesto Caballero, who asked Mayo to write a text that he might carry scene After seeing the Hamelin Mayorga created 'Animalario'.
The result was, in the words of Knight, a very rich text which opens in many directions.
It's a Gothic tale at times and sometimes Kafkaesque farce delusional, whose difficulty is finding the right tone at all times, which the stage manager has achieved continuous dialogue with the cast and the author during the trial-fitting.
This dialectic between author and theater director joins two representatives of a new generation of Spanish drama, which joins Carmen Machi, an actress usual Caballero assemblies and formed into The Abbey.
Harriet the tortoise is for a granny Mayorga naive and increasingly intense human and offers his past and his memory to human beings, in turn, seek only to exploit it.
A Machi paper which returns to the theater, which has seen a before and after in his career and he uncovers the reason for this profession every time he returns to it.
For this show Juan Mayorga again chooses an animal as the star of one of his theatrical stories after 'Final Words Snowflake' also carried Animalario scene, and 'Perpetual Peace', another of his texts already prepared José Luis Gomez to the National Drama Centre.
