The media focus Els Joglars' attention on "Zenit. Reality for Her," a show that its director Ramón Fontseré describes as "a reflection on how a thing that began as a need for survival has become a machine Unspeakable success, power of decision, influence and how it has been popularized to the maximum with that gadget that we all carry in our pocket. "
The company, one of the longest and strongest in Europe, founded in 1961, whose work is characterized by research and improvisation prior to the final bill of each set, presents an acid criticism of "what has become an entertainment business More focused on developing a "fast truht" for the mass, than in its legitimate first objective to inform ".
"Reality at your fingertips", which has had the collaboration of the National Drama Center and the Lope de Vega Theater in Seville, sets its sights on a type of journalism "more focused on achieving market shares than the objective description Of facts. "
"In this journalism does not matter morals or ethics, the purpose is to calm the greed and gluttony of the mass, presented as a pantagruelle devourer of fresh information and constantly renewed," explained Fontseré.
The work, which reflects the intricacies of the newspaper "Zenit", is inspired by reality although, according to the company, in certain scenes they have had to reduce some tones of the real story to be credible in the function.
The reflection on the drift of certain journalism and the media presented by Els Joglars reaches the responsibility of both the media and the consumer.
"It's a warning to the public, do not swallow everything the media tells you. We swallow it very easily, it's comfortable, but a bit dangerous," said Ramon Fontseré.
The Catalan company recurs as usual to a minimalist set design that sets the stage for a newspaper in which, as always, lighting and music plays a big role.
Fontseré also appears in the cast of the work with Pilar Sáenz, Dolors Tuneo, Xevi Vilá, Julián Ortega and Juan Pablo Mazorra.
"Zenit. The Reality to Your Measure", whose title alludes to the public's knowledge of the medium to which it is to listen, is the third Els Joglars production since Albert Boadella's march in 2012 when Fontseré took the direction of the company.
