The Colón theater presents performances from Tuesday to Sunday, from July 18 to 30. This is not a wild tale, written and directed by Emiliano Dionisi with music by Jean-Philippe Rameau, will go at 11.30. “I had a lot of freedom to work – Dionisi emphasizes – I had dancers and singers, they surprised me with the precision, the discipline for work and the predisposition that they all had. It is a work that he wrote specifically for this project with an actor, Tomás Castiglione and with the choreography of Margarita Fernández. The space, plus the creative team and working for families is a huge responsibility. That’s where it all starts: you have to sow the spectators of the future”. The second proposal will go at 4:00 p.m. and it is El lobizón, that is, the terror of the Missions by Gonzalo Demaría, with music by Henry Purcell. Both are recommended for children from the age of 6, with tickets starting at $4,800.

They go from Tuesday to Sunday at 4:00 p.m. in the Casacuberta Room of the San Martín Theater. It is Paker who assures: “For me acting for an audience of children or adults is exactly the same, especially what has to do with the construction of the character. It generates the same commitment and delivery in me. The difference is in the relationship with the public. Adults are not usually so demonstrative, we are more measured, maybe they will wait for you at the exit. On the other hand, when I work for children, the reaction is immediate, they express what they like or not. I think he is a hypocritical spectator. Sometimes I even played villains and I am fascinated by what they generated, some remember those compositions because. Acting for me is always with commitment, whatever the audience”. The Regio Theater (Av. Córdoba 6056) will return The Green Ray by Jules Verne, adaptation for puppet theater by Adelaida Mangani who also directs.

Shrek is back. The Musical to Maipo, directed by Carla Calabrese. With tickets from $6,000 to $7,500 and live orchestra. It is Calabrese who reflects: “The most important thing is never to underestimate the children’s audience. He is the most difficult and demanding. If you manage to capture their attention with powerful, quality stories, at the exact pace they need, it’s sure to be enjoyed by parents and teens in the family alike. You also have to take into account the content. It is a great responsibility: that the story is powerful and deep, that it is capable of transforming the viewer, whether he is a child or an adult, and that he is able to better understand the world that surrounds them, to reflect, to think that what seemed impossible to him was not possible. it is so much. It is difficult to grow up and many people have complex realities, they suffer the pressure of often absurd social and cultural demands. The theater and the characters function as a mirror of the human being, they reflect it and allow it to rethink itself. The children’s public does not forgive, does not hide, it is totally authentic. I started directing plays for children and I think it was the best thing that happened to me since getting their attention is much more difficult and it taught me a lot”.
