wonderful, ideal life in a lost and unreachable, is nothing more than a metaphor both for the individual and a conformist society is not looking higher values and philosophy, justice, except by falling cyclically in the same stories. Fernando Arrabal

Directed by Dairo Piñeres the work runs until January 23 in the courtroom Horace Peterson, University of the Arts Experimental UNEARTE, with free admission.
Fernando Arrabal is the author of a great drama, brutal, surprising and provocative joyfully. A provocative dramaturgical where scrap our "advanced" societies is carbonized in a festive trail permanent revolution. Inherits the lucidity of Kafka and the mood of a Jarry, for their violence is related to Sade or Artaud. But it is probably the only one so far have led ridicule. Joyously playful, rebellious and bohemian, his work is the syndrome of our time fences: a way to stay alert.
The action follows the arrival of a civilized character, after a plane crash, to an island and his meeting with the only inhabitant of her, a savage who does not even speak. Fernando Arrabal us a work full of surreal dialogues, leading to an unreal world, an isolated desert island which he called Assyria, where the characters just as lost and isolated, they spend time playing the others, never becoming truly one while being many, the constant struggle of man torn between what would be and what is man in search of God and of himself, trying to hide his interest in the approval others, fleeing a nightmare, avoiding reality and longing for a dream, something mythical, immortal and fantastic. The events pass on a cyclical basis, reiterating that the problem of human being does not end with death, but revived in each individual. Arrabal
undoubtedly changed the world theater scene. Sublimating his own biography, the disparate episodes complicated by the theater of the absurd and cruelty, or late Dada. The result is a ceremony with all its ritual value, which returns the status of spectacle theater. Beneath the apparent chaos, beat political concerns, religious or real human transcendence.
In this masterpiece of Arrabal, will find the impeccable performances of Moses Berroterán and Luis Vicente Gonzalez. Both buffoons Seventh Floor Group, under the direction of Dairo Piñeres and Production Carlos Chacon, with costumes and set design concept of Carlos Diaz.
