Today the pre-sale begins to see “Sons, being or not to be”, the new immersive theater creation of the historic Spanish company The Fura dels Baus. It will be the international premiere of his show in Buenos Aires, with a show that combines immersive, physical, real and virtual theater.
To live Hamlet in a “furious” version, the artistic direction is Carlus Padrissa in a format with 360-degree projections, immersive sound and artists sharing the space with the public, a distinctive mark of the group that has been on the scene for 45 years.
The premiere will be on February 13 with a series of shows in February for five weeks, and then embark on their international tour. The Spaniards are already rehearsing in the Sala Sinpiso where they performed brute force with all its characteristic air theater equipment.
This “furious” version of Hamlet of William Shakespeareinvites you on a journey between reason and madness, the forces of destiny opposed to chance, the confrontation between good and evil, the doubt between the freedom-responsibility binomial, life and death.
Video or theater, where does the screen end and where does the actor? The experience is visual and physical. The overflow of the image unites the two disciplines into one.
Since its birth in 1979, La Fura has been characterized by achieving total spectacle. With more than 5,500 performances on 6 continents, seen live by more than 4.5 million viewers, La Fura is considered a cult group.
The Spanish theater company revolutionized the way of doing theater; by presenting their shows by interacting in the space that had traditionally been reserved for the public and thus adapting the scenes to the architectural elements of the spaces in which each performance took place.
Carlus Padrissareveals that the ultimate intention of his works is to penetrate the viewer: “Our theater is the theater that provokes you and makes you secrete adrenaline.”
