The work written and directed by Natalia Villamil is starring Matilde Campilongo, Yanina Gruden, Liliana Weimer, Aldana Illán, Sergio Mayor and Juan Tupac Soler and is presented at Cervantes from Thursday to Sunday.
The crowns of flowers that lie in the courtyard of the house to say goodbye to the remains of a relative are just a metaphor of those dead in life who roam carrying the weight of homeless stocks. Three sisters who are not those of Chekhov but how much they look like it. Terrible mothers licking wounds that stopped them at a time of their lives, perhaps the happiest or most traumatic. And three children whose destinations are irremediably crooked by their mothers, some suffocating, another disaffected, the third a whirlwind of confusion. The latter evokes the same fact every year and claims to improve her and thus the story, although it is increasingly far from achieving it.
In “The three sisters” of Chekhov It has passed a year since the death of the father and, after the duel, the sisters trust a new life where they had their childhood. Here has not passed a day of their brother’s death, a chair that seems still hot and a presence that does not want to leave that house in San Telmo, which no one visited years ago. In fact, those sisters and their children have not seen each other for a long time.

The three Chejovian sisters are tired of their present, just like these. In the end, they form with their destiny, marked by the helplessness: the greatest was stopped in the abandonment of her husband and is no longer able to fend for herself, her daughter says she is sentenced to take care of her in a monotonous and overwhelming routine, trying to evade with abruptness back to childhood. The medium tries to move forward between mandates and takes place to all, starting with their son, so invisible that not even others see it. And the child traveled to Barcelona to forget the most traumatic episode of his life, which tries to anesthetize with cocaine stripes. The relationship with his son is sick and condemns him to the abyss. The triad asphyxiation and the spectator is revealed by the question of how the mother who gave birth to them.
There is a tribute to Pedro Almodóvar With the reading of a passage from “Everything about my mother”, which is also taken by Natalia Villamil To replicate here the story of Manuela, who travels to Barcelona in search of his son’s father, Lola, a transgender woman.
The writing of Natalia Villamil Give powerful images, disturbing, bloody, but also bright and some moments of a lot of humor are appreciated. The actions of Matilde Campilongo, Aldana Illán and Liliana Weimer Like those three sisters/mothers are excellent, as well as those of their children embodied by the very solid Yanina Gruden, Sergio Mayor and Juan Tupac Soler, mired in their allergies, paranoia, sudden changes of humor and deep loneliness.

From the visual, the scenery Rodrigo González Garillo It surprises with a montage and disassembly in view of the spectators who, unlike what is usually seen, is carried out by the technicians and not by the actors. Along with the light of Matías Sendónthey invite a trip to that time stopped in a house that has been the same for decades, that return to the smells and colors of childhood. The aesthetics completed by Paola Delgado.
The work is built through layers and deepens the maternal, fraternal and also between cousins and aunts. A network of “binding ties” as the aspiring writer calls it, who for his mother crucigramos. And it is not obvious because links may not be linked, perhaps dysfunctional like this family, like all families.
It is presented in the beautiful Oreste Caviglia room of the Cervantes National Theater from Thursday to Sunday at 9 pm.
