HACER Dallas

Las Sillas

Presented by Teatro Gótico, Written by Eugène Ionesco, Directed by Eduardo Ruíz Saviñón and starring Cora Cardona, Rodrigo Mendoza and Sergio Rüed

Teatro Gótico is known for its stark humor and post-punk, minimalist aesthetic that explores classics of gothic literature; Southern, English and Spanish. Through innovative adaptations of the likes of Melville, Shelley, Stoker, and Tenessee Williams, this Mexico City based theater company reinvigorates familiar tales through a contemporary lens.

In this innovative iteration of Ionesco’s absurd masterpiece, an aging couple comes to represent a depleted contemporary society. Through their nightly games, this couple manifest the struggles of migration to a promised land, a reality that plagues the developing world. The intimate becomes universal, as violence and exhaustion within the family becomes a metaphor for the struggle between powerful states and global citizens.

The presentation is in Spanish accompanied by an English libretto.
