Ara que ho tenim tot

ORIGIN

Actors are always looking for a play to help us think on aspects of life that worry us. A couple of years ago, when I came across this play, it touched in a way that I felt not only that I had to work on it but also that I had to share it with the public.The peculiar way that the author presents this couple - with colloquial, cruel and funny dialogues - makes the characters as vivid and contradictory as we actually are.

Thus began the great adventure of this project!

I feel very lucky to have found this great team of people and from the real beginning I fell in love with the project. Now I need your financial support to implement it. Thank you very much !

SYNOPSI

An apparently happy couple from a good family celebrates their twenty-year wedding anniversary at the same hotel where they spent their honeymoon. Apparently everything is perfect but the room in which they stay is not exactly the same as twenty years ago. They are dressing up to go to dinner with some good friends but without warning the buried claustrophobia of time and the disappointment of their marriage suddenly manifest itself.

Their attempt to find out what is happening with their wedding becomes pathetic and frustrating. At least this explosion of feelings reminds them that they are alive. But, can you call this marriage?

THE WORK

Ara Que Ho Tenim Tot is a miserious talk about love, about how the flowing of time, that is a romantic and passionate idea of ​​union has changed over the centuries and is now more relevant than ever.

With a poetic, funny and disconcerting direct language, this work gives us an honest exercise, shaking the view on the conventional idea of a couple and their marriage. Stability, comfort, safety, expectations, the idea of ​​romantic love, the desire that everything will last forever, how little we know of others... everything is questionable. This play presents what it means today to be married.

TO WHAT WE WILL APPOINT YOUR SUPPORT

What we collect will help to cover the current most indispensable expenses to be able to start up the project.

We need to start rehearsing, building the scenography, setting up wardrobe, perishable materials, register the actors, etc…

The previous performance to the opening on May 9th will be recorded so as to be able to be offered to the theatres in Barcelona for the next season.

And if fortunately we get to our set aim, please do not hesitate to continue collaborating. Thus much more than 3.950€ are needed so that everyone can work under legal conditions.

CALENDER

Mid February we will start rehearsals and the 9th of May we will do a performance for all of the sponsors at the Parc Sandaru Civic Centre (C/ Bonaventura Muñoz, 31. Barcelona) and we are counting on releasing the play in the next theatre season in Barcelona.
