One of the great things tread Vico Theatre this quarter reached Jumilla this weekend, "The Malquerida" a special work as well, with its staging in Jumilla, will render homage to Irene Lopez de Heredia, one of the ladies of the Spanish scene of the early twentieth century, which was the first actress who played the Malquerida, the company then Maria Guerrero, actress who spent his childhood and part of his youth in Jumilla.
The Malquerida is perhaps the masterpiece of its author, Jacinto Benavente.
Its theme is built around a love triangle, incestuous nature (mother-stepfather-daughter).
His characters, drawn from the rural world, placed in extreme situations, affected by major conflicts of honor and feelings, show the unfortunate story of passion and its consequences.
The tragic dimension of his female characters allows the woman is the protagonist.
The search for truth appears in its tragic genesis, with catastrophic results and legacy issues of the dramas of the Spanish Golden Age: honor, justice, jealousy, infidelity, "what people say," incest and triangle love-jealousy-death.
The Malquerida is the story of an inevitable and stormy passion that leads to destruction: the confrontation between a forbidden passion (the incestuous love) and social and moral conventions that impede the fulfillment of desire.
Antonio Saura, stage director, is developing a staging balance between tradition and innovation, typical of his style.
The scenic drive, organic interpretations, seeking the thrill that strikes the viewer, powerful images and universal treatment of conflict away from localism, are some of the aspects that stand out from the direction of the work, which is one of the bets Vico Theatre programming for this quarter.
