winter/ montevideo/ otono/ ventana

This project began back in September, which means it  has been six months in the gestation.  Finally, we have a date and a theatre. We open in two weeks in Sala Dos of the Circular. This will be transnoche, as they call it. A 23.30 kick-off. But if ever there was a play which fits the transnoche bill, then this must be it. 

On Friday we had one of our last rehearsals in the dance studio. Natalia wanted to do some more work on Scene 4. Scene 4 is short and sharp. it requires less work than the other three scenes and has received less work as a result. There is a moment when, exasperated , she walks across the room.  During the work with Marga and the work up to now with Natalia this ‘room’ has always been as vague as can be. A theatrical space, which can be realised at any time in any given auditorium. But all of a sudden, the scene was demanding more form.  When she walks across the room, she’s searching for something, a point of reference, a breathing space. Before returning to the attack.

And so it came about that after six months of working in a hotel room with a bed, a door and nothing else, we discovered it also has a window and a view.
