That a private company confronts the setting up of a classic text and also make a very careful production, is an adventure that should be recognized in proportion. Twelve performers on stage, a quality costume or an elaborate set design, resulting in a substantial business risk that can not go unnoticed. This is the case of 'The Merchant of Venice', a show produced by Darek Theater, who on Saturday was presented at the Teatro Principal in a single function, reaping a huge success among the large audience.
text is Shakespeare, whose story is well known, the main value of this proposal for signing the Irish actor and director Denis Rafter. It has a good version of Rafael Pérez Sierra and the presence of Fernando Conde, Marta Hazas , George Lucas and Manuel Regueiro as headliners.
Staging commitment to fidelity to the text. So much so that he surrenders. Illustrate merely an exercise of rhetoric, hard realism, Decorative and plasterboard. The rate is unreasonably slow at times. There are scenes charged with movements and actions that are repetitive and free. The humor is raised from a too thick and easy as pie (the Prince of Morocco and the Prince of Aragon, for example) and lacks depth and ability to connect with the audience. After intermission, the role gained in intensity. It does not help much at first glance a spectacular scenery. Two large side structures that represent the Venetian walls of some houses and a staircase rises to the bottom stage, which in the course of representation just end up being mere objects used, which at times hinder the development of the action and condition and force the displacement of the actors.
The interpretive field, highlight the Graciano has made Shylock César Sánchez and Fernando Conde. The two performed a remarkable job. On the contrary there are characters who appear flat, dull, dull and contrived, especially the portion of Hazas Marta and Manuel Antonio Regueiro. A general lack of nuances and details that give depth and credibility to acting. A laudable effort, but discrete in the results. Joaquin
