"Caligula", the x-ray of a tyrant
Pablo Derqui interprets the Roman emperor described by Albert Camus directed by Mario Gas
The actor Pablo Derqui has managed to put in agreement to the public, who cheered him standing in the Festival of Mérida where he premiered this Caligula of Albert Camus directed by Mario Gas, and the criticism that gives him an outstanding in the interpretation of a personage so Difficult as fascinating.
The spectacle that thousands of people have seen in Merida after its premiere in July and that also triumphed in the Grec, of Barcelona, ​​now arrives at the Festival of San Javier with a great expectation of the public.
Pablo Derqui travels on the scene through the different moods and all facets of the tyrant who passes from lucidity to insanity, disheartened after the death of his sister and lover Drusilla, a fact that unleashes all the extreme evil of the tyrant.
Caligula experiences his own pain in discovering the absurdity of a finite life, "men die and are not happy," says the despot whose internal torture projects in the form of anger, pride and ruthless destruction.
The text of Camus to which Mario Gas has been faithful, escapes from the histrionismo and the profile of insanity of Calígula and it is centered within the personage of objective and conscious evil that exerts from the despair.
The play speaks of abuse of power, corruption, privileges, falsehood and honesty, said Mario Gas who has looked at the root causes of the existential drift of the emperor who recognizes having felt "the need to the impossible".
Camus conceived his "Caligula" as a work against any totalitarianism so he did not want "Caligula" to be interpreted with Roman togas nor localized in Imperial Rome as it has done Mario Gas in this elegant installation in which the stage designer Paco Azorín has created an austere space with an inclined platform that still evoking constructions of Italian fascism aims to leave protagonism to the conflict of the work whose staging is complemented by monochromatic costumes designed by Antonio Belart.
The cast is completed alongside Pablo Derqui, with Monica Lopez as Cesonia, Xavier Ripoll as Helicon;
Bernat Quintana as Scipio and Borja Espinosa as Quereas and the conspirators senators interpreted by Pep Ferrer, Pep Molina, Anabel Moreno and Ricardo Moya.
"Calígula" is a co-production of the International Festival of Classical Theater of Mérida, Teatre Romea and Grec Festival.
