La Música: A Profound Exploration of Love and Silence at Teatro Cervantes
Experience a masterpiece of French literature as Magüi Mira directs Marguerite Duras’s iconic play, La Música. As a major highlight of the 43rd Theater Festival, this production arrives at the Teatro Cervantes in Málaga. Starring the acclaimed Ana Duato and Darío Grandinetti, the performance delves into the raw complexities of a relationship at its breaking point.
A Final Act of Separation
The story follows “Him” and “Her,” a couple who once built a home together like everyone else. However, the terrible force of miscommunication suddenly tore them apart. They have arrived in the city for the final act of their separation: the divorce trial. While she appears more capable of forgetting their shared hell, he remains trapped in a state of fighting for eternal happiness.
One Hot Summer Night
The two characters find themselves alone in a hotel during a long, hot summer night. They spend hours talking, laughing, and shouting in an atmosphere of desperate love. Consequently, they remain caught in the innocence of their first love even as the day inexorably ends their story. According to the author, the play serves as a constant rewriting of the “impossible score of love”.
The Vision of Marguerite Duras
Marguerite Duras remains one of the most controversial and celebrated figures in 20th-century French letters. In her work, the boundaries between reality and fiction often disappear. A winner of the Grand Prix du Théâtre from the French Academy, she was a master of using language to explore love beyond death. Under Magüi Mira’s expert direction, this 70-minute production promises to capture Duras’s unique intensity.
In short, do not miss this chance to witness a powerful performance by two of theater’s finest actors. Secure your tickets today for a night of profound reflection on the human heart.
