DÄMON

Angelica Liddell channels Swedish filmmaker Ingmar Bergman, who wrote the script for his funeral as if it were his final masterpiece, and takes him at his word. In the Cour d’honneur, surrounded by actresses and actors from Dramaten—the National Theatre of Sweden—and b yher usual accomplices from her company, the great Spanish performer invites us to gaze on our buried fantasies and unspoken terrors, until we have to face the final demon: not Death, but Vanity. 

Angelica Liddell’s shows shine a light on “what one dare not speak of at dinner parties”: this fiery discourse which finds refuge on the stage, and which she calls “the pornography of the soul.” With DÄMON, she dreams of a theatre with the power of religion, where everyone would pray for our collective salvation. 

La inauguración de la 78.ª edición en la Cour d’honneur correrá a cargo de Angélica Liddell. Una cita histórica que la artista española honra celebrando a Ingmar Bergman. Al igual que el artista sueco, convoca los fantasmas, demonios y sueños que nos atormentan. 

Algunas escenas de este espectáculo pueden herir la sensibilidad del público. Edad recomendada: a partir de 16 años.
