Manipulations II Your crib was a tenement
The sainete is a polyphonic genre, and Diego Starosta explodes this quality of Vacarezza's text, conforming from the body and the dramatic textuality a choral work, a timed beauty machinery that allows, however, variants in the sequences of dramatic tension: the sequences are reiterated in the body and voice of different actors that thus produce a new instance of registration, without modifying the semantics but rather reinforcing the meaning from another point of view, and metaphorically pointing out that individualities are stereotypes, without a central figure, or divism .
Contempt
Janus, Verónika, Pedro, Vogler and Nora make up a theater group that tries to survive in the late 80s. To do this, they set up a project that offers doctors training on how to give a terminal diagnosis to a patient. However, the project does not come to fruition: the rehearsal of the scenes, from which the viewer prefigures what this training is about, is interrupted again and again; crossed by emotional tension, always in crescendo, between Pedro and Vogler. As the scenes unfold, the discussions between the two, as a couple for 10 years, are increasing in tone and emotional intensity. As in a reflex action to the wounds that the two men open, the couple of Janus and Verónika establish an intimate dialogue that will trigger a deep and moving confession by Janus towards his wife, and a subsequent act of contempt by her towards him.
