A "quiltro" production. This is how Alexandra von Hummel, its director, defines this staging which revives an iconic character of the creative imaginary of the French playwright Molière: Tartuffe, a false champion of moral integrity seeks to steal the fortune of a wealthy man. He is trying to seduce a Chilean family given to excess, bling bling, lust and suspicious wealth, with the promise to grant them power.
This time, the unmistakable language of the Teatro La María company fills the stage with characters in baroque wigs and grotesque makeup. They take over a theater hall, spilling out of their seats and ordering food for delivery. The play shows a non-realistic world that exposes its artifices to portray a story which today - in the midst of the current Chilean context- -, is heard, felt and perceived more real than ever.
Tartufo is part of the cycle Ni tan clásicos, a Teatro a Mil production especially designed for audiovisual format.
