Ricardes assured that the programming will not be reduced to listing works but to the “More Action Program” which is made up of three axes: making public theater that others do not do, especially the classics or themes that require a protected area such as the official one; contribute to the development not only of emerging artists but established ones who “many times need a space”, and finally take into account the diverse spectators of its six theaters: San Martín, Sarmiento, De la Ribera, Regio, Presidente Alvear and Cine Teatro La Silver. This is a summary of what will be seen next year:
San Martin Theater
Mariano Pensotti (“El público”) will premiere “Los años”, which stages the life of the same person at 30 and 60, simultaneously. With Mara Bestelli and Marcelo Subiotto, among others.
Mariano Tenconi Blanco will launch “Las ciencias naturales”, the second part of The European Saga, the tetralogy started with the excellent “Las cautivas” in which he intends to look at the origins of Argentina from literature. With Agustín Rittano and Juan Isola.
Luciano Suardi (he acted in “Blood Wedding”) directs Eugene O’Neill’s “Long Day’s Journey Towards Night”, starring Arturo Puig and Selva Alemán; Julio Panno will stage “El testamento de María”, by the Irishman Colm Tobin, with Eleonora Wexler as a mother torn by the pain of the violent death of her son.
“Lady in Red on a Gray Background”, based on the novel by Miguel Delibes, will be directed by José Sacristán, while “A Moonless Night”, by Lorca, will be directed by Juan Diego Botto. “Everything next to me?” It will be seen again ten years after its premiere, represented by more than 300 actresses in ten languages. Directed by Fernando Rubio.

Royal Theater
