Paren la música
By Nona Fernández | Suggested title, fragments and notes by Alejandro Sieveking |Staging by Cristián Plana
- Chile
- Spanish
- 70 minutes
Paren la música is the third part of a trilogy by the Chilean dramaturge Alejandro Sieveking, which began with Todo pasajero debe descender (2012) and was followed by Todos mienten y se van (2019). A play that the author left unfinished at his death, in March 2020. Similar to the two previous pieces, once again a café becomes the meeting place for Guillermo, a biographer, and his friend Gregoria, an elderly actress. The big difference is that this time Guillermo is dead, and the café is being demolished. Joselyn, the owner, discovers Gregoria in the ruins suffering from advanced senile dementia and reluctant to leave this memory-loaded place. What makes her stay on the scene?
Inspired by the Sievekian world and written by Nona Fernández, Paren la música is the dramatic continuity of a play where humor, superstitions, souls and ghosts cross the stage as a representation of the real and the marvelous.
"Paren la música works very well and, in addition to the story it tells, works as a tribute to two emblematic figures of the national theater scene."
