He debuts “Opereta of the bandits”, which evokes the adventures of three famous rural thieves, idealized by the people of the people as justices who stole the rich to help the poor.

It opens “Bandol operetta” with adaptation and general direction of CLAUDIO GALLARDOUthat evokes the adventures, loves and destination of three famous rural bandits, idealized by the people of the people as justices who “stole the rich to help the poor.”

With a text of Hugo Chumbita Composed in verses, the work is based on true facts, also reflecting its legendary projections in the South Song and the coast of the country. The abuse of authority pushes those brave rebels out of the law, and anarchist workers gather them in a Buenos Aires Masonic lodge with the plan to dock the forest, the great exploiting company of Mount Chaqueño.

The work that can be seen since Sunday 9 at the Teatro del Pueblo, has as its kicks the assaults they perform in the Chaco and that unleashes the repression with consequences that lead to the three of different paths: the prison, the search for love, the incessant escape or death.

The cast is made up of Omar Lopardo, Gonzalo Alvarez, Luciano Medina, Federico Justo, Brenda Chi, Carlos Ledragh, Beni Gentile and Florencia Capiello, With the musician on stage Jorge Móbili.

Gallardou He told the genesis of the project: “A beautiful and reliable story of the events that occurred between the final of the nineteenth century until the middle of the twentieth century, at the time where a company that exploited peasants, pawns and families between the south of the Chaco and the north of the province of Santa Fe. That English company was forest reigned. His tyranny lasted between 50 and 60 years. They did not pay with money, no. They did it with promissory notes; Papelos that the peanada exchanged in the pulperies and warehouses, which were also owned by the company. They intimidated and executed with their own police who were revealed to such wild treatment, remember “the massacre of the forest strikers.” Meanwhile and under the distracted look of the governments on duty, they talked about the extensive forests of broken tannin and wood for different industrial uses. Leaving the entire devastated territory. This almost cinematographic novel book is a precise and poetic narration of historical events extracted from interviews, police and journalistic archives. ”

The cast builds recognizable characters in black and white cinema, melodrama, the Campero Theater and the deeds of acting in the circuses. Thus, its own story is chained with its own aesthetic and it is observed “that these facts are repeated again as in an endless spiral, which we can only escape if we learn not to repeat ourselves,” concludes Gallardou

Its author, Hugo Chumbita, He reflected: “These are conflicting events of social reality, threshing by journalism as well as for those seen and the popular song, which years ago motivated my own historical and sociological research work. The general idea and the theatrical and musical language aim to rescue the traditions of the people inside the country and the history of a time not too distant, which are part of our cultural heritage. The theme of the “good bandits” is always controversial, as they replicate to injustice using violence, and the work suggests the opposing points of power and the “below” people. On the argument there are some symbolic elements in force in popular beliefs, which represent the evil prevailing in the world and the fight against the fatality of fate: as in the game of bets in a game of cards, there is a margin of possibilities of winning or losing, and perhaps it is possible to choose a destination. ”
