"Las Tremendas Aventuras de la Capitana Gazpacho"
ESPAÑOL

ProyectoTeatro presenta su primera producción en cartelera "Las Tremendas Aventuras de la Capitana Gazpacho (o de cómo los elefantes aprendieron a jugar a las canicas)", una tragicomedia escrita por el dramaturgo mexicano Gerardo Mancebo del Castillo y dirigida por Luis Armando Ordaz Gutiérrez,  director artístico de la compañía.

Esta farsa en dos actos nos presenta a seis personajes caóticos justo en el momento que emprenden el viaje más importante de sus vidas: la búsqueda de la identidad, el amor y la libertad, sin saber que al final de su odisea sus deseos serán la tortura de los demás. Una capitana tosca y desenfadada quien se niega a morir hasta conocer el amor, un fiel escudero que aún con su inteligencia ama el maltrato; Honorosa, una mujer que temiendo a su libertad se transgrede constantemente, mientras el esposo Pompeyo, que aparenta fortaleza, es sólo un títere de sus propias ideas de lo que tiene que ser; unas hermanas que están juntas pero nunca acompañadas, buscan su dignidad en las cosas más absurdas como el té o las ilusiones de pantalla.

Cada uno de estos personajes fusiona sus deseos en tres historias que al final, se transforma en una aventura extravagante que explora los conflictos existenciales más comunes de los seres humanos de una manera absurda, pero que tristemente y por qué no, cómicamenteviene siendo la realidad de nuestras vidas.


ENGLISH

ProyectoTeatro presents their first main-stage production "Las Tremendas Aventuras de la Capitana Gazpacho (o de cómo los elefantes aprendieron a jugar a las canicas)", a dramedy written by the mexican dramaturg Gerardo Mancebo del Castillo and directed by the company's artistic director, Luis Armando Ordaz

This farce in two acts introduces 6 chaotic characters just as they are about to embark on the most important journey of their lives; the search for self-identity, love, and liberty. A rough and untamed captain that refuses to die without finding her true love followed by a quite intelligent and loyal squire who yearns for abuse; the epitome of a housewife so scared of her self-liberty that she constantly finds ways of punishing herself through the hands of her so-called dominant husband, a sad excuse of a man driven by the ideas of what he should be; two sisters who share the same time, but never the same reality and that hopelessly search for their dignity in the most absurd things, such as tea and dreams of the big screen. By the end of their odyssey, unknowingly, their deepest desires turn into someone else's torture.  

Each of these characters fuse their desires into three stories that in end transform into one extraordinary adventure that explores existential conflicts through dark humor.  "Las Tremendas Aventuras de la Capitana Gazpacho" exposes the most common internal conflicts of human beings through absurdity that sadlyand why not, comicallyare the driving forces of our very own realities.
