The performance is part of "Traces of the Hut", a project organized for the seventh consecutive year for Spanish Cultural Action (AC / E) to remember that other launched by García Lorca in the 30s to take theater to the points further from the Spanish geography.
This year's edition commemorating two historic events of singular importance: the eighth centenary of the Scola Studiorum of Palencia, considered the first Spanish university and one of the oldest in Europe, and the bicentennial of our first constitution, promulgated in Cadiz in 1812 .
Texts by Calderon de la Barca, Lope de Vega, Francisco de Rojas Zorrilla and Federico García Lorca, as well as several contemporary authors, are being staged by various theater groups, including the University of Murcia, in over 170 locations of most of Spain.
The Aula of the University of Murcia represents "Light in darkness" on a route that includes Andalusia, Valencia, Madrid, Castilla y León, Cantabria, Castilla-La Mancha and Aragon, in addition to the Region of Murcia.
"Light in Darkness" is a sad story, as the author says, Laila Ripoll.
"It's the story he continues a disappointment, a disappointment of what could have been and was not, of what should have been and was truncated."
"This story does not end well. Prince proved a unpresentable, worse than the most evil ogres, and instead of happily ever after, the Spanish were drowned in blood and wrapped in terrible wars that lasted more than a century, "he says.
"But history also has flashes of light and joy.'s Also room for humor, for music, for dancing and a generous handful of idealists in Cadiz meet back in 1812, and write a beautiful letter Magna, known by the humble and pure name La Pepa ".
The French invasion and the May 2, the Inquisition and the farce, the tune, the string, Harlequin, Pulcinella, Colombina, a drunken dwarf, the Duchess of Alba and, above all, Goya, are the protagonists of the play.
According to the director, Nieves Pérez-Abad, the main character is a tired old Goya, judged by the characters portrayed by himself in one of his works.
"We wanted to paint a giant-indica-stage picture with the character of Francisco de Goya except as interlocutor between Spain at that time and that inhabit us."
According to the director, 'Laila Ripoll played Goya and left him speak ", while those responsible for the play," we've got to that stage where Goya attended as a sham trial, or a trial form of farce, in which between dances, laugh and smile, song and song are heard those questions that still remain unanswered or, if they do, draw a funny and grotesque mask bitter grimace.
