The Callejón company, founded by Javier Daulte

The brand new was presented last night “Callejón company”, created by Javier Daulte and that was attended by the theatrical community, among them, María and Paula Marull, Pablo Gorlero, Lorena Vega, Héctor Díaz, Silvia Gómez Giusto And many others.

“I think the idea of company is something as necessary as atypical for the times,” said Daulte, in allusion to a form of work that was a rage in other times of stable companies of the great theaters such as San Martín and that are currently created in the independent circuit to face projects that are known when they start but not when they end. That is magic and mystery.

“It is necessary because it generates artistic but atypical identity because it is difficult today to gather a number of talents around a project that in the first instance does not seek to generate dividends. I think we live a time marked by anxiety and demotivation, combination that generates the most diverse addictions,” he said Daulte.

The group created by Daulte, playwright, director, manager, teacher and owner of Callejón Espacio, bastion of the independent theater, is integrated with Valeria Caminoactress, director and teacher; Ramiro Delgadoactor, director and teacher; Julia Garrizactress and teacher; Zoilo Garcésproducer, actor, playwright and director; Jorge Gentileactor; Luciana Grassoactress, director, writer; Silvina Katzactress and director; Paula Manzoneactress, playwright, screenwriter, director and director; Agustín Menesesactor and playwright; Marcelo Pozzi, actor; William Prociukactor, playwright and director; Juani Romeroproducer, community manager and designer; María Villaractress, playwright and director.

In 2020, a works contest was gestured from the Alley Space that invited to write frantically in glanding short works whose selection arose “Witness light”, Show directed by Daultecomposed of five short works by different authors, which premiered in 2021. It was one of the first to come to light in pandemic, with a very reduced capacity that left two seats between spectator and an inocable emotion to finally return to the theater.

The cast was made up of Delgado, Grasso, Katz, Manzone, Meneses, Pozzi, Prociuk and Villar. Affinity and professionalism generated the need for a new show. Thus he was born “The sound” whose text was written by Daulte And he began to rehearse in February 2023 as he continued to appear “Witness light.”

After five seasons doing functions every Tuesday in Callejón space (“Witness light”First and then continuing from 2023 with “The sound”) The proposal of a new show arises, whose title is “The movement.”

Daulte counted a Scope Something of this new work that is in the process of creation. It is about an advertising agency that is competing for a very important account where there was information traffic and an alleged betrayal. Publicists do not know what the product is to sell until the client in question appears and only from there it will be known that what they actually seek is to make a historical reparation about a fact that we have crossed the Argentines. It has a nice scenic game as these advertisements will be represented in the work.

It opens in the second semester of 2026 at the Cervantes National Theater, a confirmed date a few weeks ago, which gave a renewed sense to the initiative to create the company. Some of the current members were incorporated over the years.

Three projects in common, a room like the alley, with its tradition and its imprint, a group of talented actors, a playful and at the same time deep understanding, and several more coincidences, made, one afternoon, in Camarines, Daulte will raise the possibility of continuing together working, but as a company. The proposal was received with less surprise than joy; after all Daulte I was nothing more to put in words what was already happening. Of course, the commitment generated by all officialization opens endless questions.

Paula Manzone, Member of this company, evokes its beginnings: “I always make me that phrase from Javier who said that to choose a cast I thought about the group that would arm to go on vacation. And this started like this, but with the particularity that these vacations were given in Pandemia.

I still have the bicycle trip that made from Saavedra to the street to rehearse to light witness. I have very present the first essay, with distance and some fear still for the face -to -face encounter, fear and need for that presence and that being together. We rehearsed, we premiered, we did functions in different theaters, while our lives continued, the government changed, our children grew. These meetings became, at least for me, not only a meeting space, but a space of healing, of growth, a sacred space. ”

Daulte He concluded: “Many times we confuse motivation with stimulus (either money, recognition, or both). I am aware that the almost inevitable need for such stimuli cannot be removed from our social being. But motivation is something else. motivating yourself is not so simple. In my understanding it has to do with a project that exceeds the idea of a particular project.

It has to do with the creation of a project project.

It has to do with founding an artistic family, with all the contradictions that implies. It has to do with a search without guarantees. It has to do with the possibility of entering into process beyond the result of which, paradoxically, none can escape. Yes, perhaps the purpose of this company alley sounds somewhat utopian or, at best, naive and anachronistic. But something tells me that at this time of the save who can, it is what we must do. ”
