Guaranteed success. They have received first prize in the Theater contest of Roquetas

A snapshot taken during the play

The II Amateur Theater Contest “Francisco Rabal” is in progress, providing “laughter all the way”. Both finalists plays, played up to now, “It´s not so easy” and “No censure” have been full of humour, due to (in both cases) irony and intelligent parody.

The last play acted in la Casa de la Cultura last Saturday, was carried out by the company Barana Theater. “No censure” gives no time to boredom, only to laughter and applause after each performance. The play, written by Joan Soler (one of the three actors in it, together with Carmelo Soler and Luis Guerrero) is based on gags.

These are interposed, halfway between body language and scenic staging, on different “all-star” moments of cinema history seen “without censure”, this is, those scenes of historical films that, according to the proposal of Barana Theater “could not be seen in their time”.

The play, belonging to the theater group of Valencia, directed by Patricia Pardo, arrived in Aguilas with guaranteed success due to their recent first prize of the International Theater Contest of Roquetas de Mar (Almería) and everything indicates that it will also be a favourite in this contest.

The leitmotiv of this play, its principal action, is made up by three principal characters: Light, Camara and Action, who are played by the three actors named previously: Joan Soler, Carmelo Soler and Luis Guerrero. These three characters are living in Limbo, an indeterminate territory, until the actors rescue them and they grant them their respective dramatic content: personality, way of speaking, appearance, etc. So, finally, the spectator finds himself with Action, the main character of “No censure”, who will be the teller of the story and who will give it a meaning.

It is a character that is distinguished by its moods: histerical, nervous, histrionic, definitely crazy. He has spent such a long time in Limbo, without being able to achieve personal fulfilment that, now when his time has come, he is totally unhinged. Camara, however, reflects a foolish actitude, he appears to be bewildered: he lingers, he is clumsy, he doubts.

The third of the characters, Light, is cute, incredibly sexy. He represents the repressed passion that finally explodes and hits the face.

The general approach of the play starts while filming one of the scenes of the last Hollywood production and suddenly there is a short-circuit on the film set. This provokes confusion in the actors, and in the rest of the shooting team, and is settled by the director giving everybody 15 minutes for lunch. It is in these moments, when the action of “No censure” starts.

The II Amateur Theater Contest “Paco Rabal” has on the billboard, this Saturday, “El Avaro” (The Miser) third and last but one of this contest. This play will be acted by the theater company from Madrid “Entrecalles” and it is planned to start, like in previous occasions, at eight o´clock.

We would like to remind you also that the last play of this edition, of the contest “Paco Rabal”, has been scheduled for the following Saturday, the 26th. The play is “Tócala otra vez, Sam” (Play it again, Sam) by the Cultural Association of Theater of Pinto (Madrid).
