“Present the play in the theater “Margarita Xirgú has a very important connotation for us, actors, musicians and producers. It already happened to us at the Bar de La Plata theater where we performed last year, it was a fire and we hope that the show on the 9th will be, the place has a lot of mystique”, considered Fernando Casas, screenwriter and one of the actors of Una Obra Redonda .
And he completes: “Los Redondos played there twice, in 1979 and 1982, in the middle of the dictatorship. El Indio was not in one of them and ‘Negro’ Fontova sang. It will be special because the ricotero knows all this”.
A ROUND IDEA THAT TRANSCENDS SCENARIOS
This June 20, this artistic group that is Una Obra Redonda made headlines for managing to mark the bar El Polaco, in Salta, with a mural and commemorative plaque, where Los Redondas debuted in January 1978.
According to Indio Solari himself in his book Memories that lie a little, “That was the real debut of the band, because until that moment we had done nothing but fool around. It was the first time we were going to play in front of an audience that wasn’t made up of buddies.”
This is how two of the producers of the artistic show, Leonardo Melis and Gerardo Anchava, traveled to Salta where they made contact with journalists and officials from the City’s Culture area. And it was Mauro César Ramos, a local plastic artist, who was responsible for materializing the idea in a mural.
Beyond placing a plaque, the drawings that will remain forever on Dean Funes Street recreate historical photos of that trip by Patricio Rey, such as, for example, El Indio in the bus that took the band to Salta, the recital brochure in the El Polaco bar and images of ‘Pancho’ Silva, a plastic artist who was one of the links for that adventure.
A ROUND WORK, is a tribute from the theater to the work of the mythical Argentine band, but also a historical clipping of the country between 1976 and 2001. With more than 20 artists on stage, the work recreates notable and moving moments in the history of Patricio Rey. The atmosphere is transformed through the story and each act and the public takes the pulse of memorable shows and periods that crossed different generations.
IN THE PATH…
After closing 2021 with a function sold out in La Trastienda de Buenos Aires, Una Obra… began its 2022 in La Matanza, where the show was declared of cultural and social interest, it continued in La Reina together with Superlógico, Lanús and Hurlingham, on April 12, before more than 500 people. The one at Xirgu promises to be another memorable show-encounter-experience for Una Obra Redonda and its audience.
