Fausto

Sí, como han adivinado las ágiles inteligencias del blog, la obra era Fausto, de Punchdrunk. Nos lo comentó Elijah, y ayer fuimos Leonor, Drexler, Dani, Camis, su novia, Jorge y yo. nada más comenzar la obra nos perdimos unos de los otros y al final salimos cada uno a su aire. Se trataba de un edificio de cinco pisos decorado como unas calles de una ciudad de los cincuenta, oscura y siniestra, con un toque Lynch. En un cine proyectaban "Touch of evil". Tambien hay bosques, iglesias derruídas, clubs nocturnos, moteles. Cada uno va por donde quiere, y la mejor idea es que el público lleva máscaras como en Eyes Wide Shut. Se suceden una serie de situaciones oníricas relacionadas con el mito de Fausto. Eso sí, te pierdes las secuencias si no andas espabilado y persigues a los personajes. El time out dice esto:

There's a degree to which all site specific theatre thrives on fear and uncertainty. So it seems appropriate that the lack of powerful street lighting lends a certain menace even to the journey towards the derelict building where Punchdrunk is presenting its latest production, 'Faust'. No sequence of events is imposed upon proceedings – each theatregoer is free to stalk the different floors of the building at their leisure, with the sole condition that they wear a medieval doctor-style plague mask. Often the sensation of entering a room is that of being swallowed up into the darkness, with the floor uncertain beneath your feet as you try and decode the sounds, distant sights, and symbols that become clear as your senses gradually reorient themselves. Sometimes it feels as if you're in a dream, sometimes as if you're stumbling through a horror film set – being confronted by a range of phenomena including a neon crucifix, statues of the Virgin Mary, or a misty field where men parade up and down menacingly. 'Faust' proves to be a blackly magical mystery tour – whether you're hunting down the plot, or simply revelling in the crepuscular atmosphere. An appropriately intoxicating experience from Punchdrunk.

Lo malo es que acabas con un terrible dolor de pies.
