On Wednesday the 28th at 8:00 pm at Abasto Social Club (Yatay 666) there will be a performance of “Las Encadedas” by Juan Mako, performed by Cecile Caillon, Claudio Depirro, Mónica Driollet, and Diego Torben.
Meanwhile, on Thursday 29 at 8 pm at El Portón de Sánchez it will be the turn of “Los secretos”, directed and dramatized by Juan Andrés Romanazzi and with performances by Paula Fernández Mbarak and Iván Moschner.
The Festival closes with “Souls dance on tires” on Sunday 2nd at 4:00 p.m. at the Teatro del Pueblo (Lavalle 3,636), with dramaturgy and direction by Pilar Ruiz and performances by Camila Conte Roberts, Daniel Begino, Federico Martínez, Fran Bert, Jesús Catalino, Joaquín Gallardo, Juan Tupac Soler, Lola Banfi, Matías Méndez and Romina Oslé.
The president of Apdea, Alfredo Martín, commented that the Festival seeks to “rescue the task of stage management, considering the person who directs a fundamental member of stage work, as a binder and coordinator of the work of the other artists involved.”
“This Festival -he pointed out- is an excellent practical example of the complex and interdisciplinary work that this field demands, both in terms of staging and artist direction.
Télam: How was the selection of the works?
Alfredo Martín: It was carried out through a jury made up of Estela Castronuovo, Marcelo Savignone and Maiamar Abrodos, who worked hard on said choice: “The jury’s criteria took as its central axis the construction of a stage dramaturgy from a starting hypothesis, the evident marks of the direction’s work at the confluence of the various sign codes (space-time, lighting design, work on acting, sound code, scene-spectator links). An attempt was also made to include various aesthetic-theatrical poetics”.
T: What do you understand to be the situation of stage directing today?
AF: It is conceived as an activity of an individualistic and personal nature, very influenced by production conditions, including the limited time available to put together a staging, the money available; the late arrival of some subsidy that is not enough, or other factors of power in the environment. It is very difficult to meet to think in pairs, there is a vertigo that surrounds the work where it must be resolved, in some way. That is why the need for this association, which instead of confronting and competing produces exchange and reflection among peers on the work in common.
T: What is Apdea’s job?
AM: Apdea has been operating since 2020 made up of people who are dedicated to stage direction, without distinction of poetics or stage languages, who belong to different work circuits, independent, commercial or institutional. It is a federal association, with a democratic spirit and assembly operation, and its main objectives are: to make visible and promote the task of stage management in our country, to facilitate the training and transmission of this trade in its different aspects; dialogue and work with the different institutions of the medium, as well as participate in the claims of the theatrical field as a collective, and on the other hand (no less important) obtain authorship over the staging rights for the people they direct.
