A man takes to the stage to perform as Richard III, Shakespeare’s tyrannical and monstrous king. His entire career as an actor has been a long tunnel of supporting roles: now that his chance is here, he intends to seize it. But as the play unfolds, strange affinities start to emerge between the actor and his role—ambition, manipulation, rage, and an all-devouring hunger... They have both known rejection and aspire to power. Tonight, they inhabit the same monologue. Gabriel Calderón, major Uruguayan author and director, knows that the stage is a dangerous place where one does not venture with impunity: a space of dialogue with death and dreams. His subversive and unsettling language is brought to life by Catalan actor Joan Carreras, recipient of the Max and Butaca awards in 2021 for his performance.
El multipremiado artista catalán Joan Carreras disuelve las fronteras entre su papel como intérprete y su personaje en una singular versión de Ricardo III. Un monólogo donde identidades y épocas se confunden haciendo una potente reflexión sobre el poder y el teatro.
