Ro-tel Recipe In Commercial




By Gilda Matos

CHARLYN was the great revelation of the Festival Theatre National Theatre of the Dominican Republic, 2010.

The monologue written, acted and directed by Stalin Rafael Morla is a scathing portrait, Ironically, sour and cruel of human existence in modern times. The piece reveals the essence and philosophical dilemmas of the reality of "Being" of today.


Marx is the hero of the dramatic, the hero is outdated, who rises in revolutionary resistance against a society based on consumption, which overrides and undermines the freedom of choice of Ser

The genius of this theater piece is in dramatic conflict, presents a revolutionary revolt and exiled to the closure of a toilet against the empire of consumerism called "Mafia Propa " from this situation reflects contradictions convincingly on philosophical, psychological and policies today. The author provides a speech nonchalantly risk using the word "stool" with all verbal modes, without ridicule or in bad taste, rather, leads and brings the whole rotten world that we reveals, and almost managed to convince us, that " The world is a huge crystal ball full of excrement."



The visual image and sense of evocative monologue keep a relationship with the iconography of the work The Death of Marat French painter David, held in memory of the death of Jean Paul Marat critical revolutionary, martyr of the French Revolution. In parallel, the stage picture created by Rafael Morla brings to the National Theatre Festival to Marat located in the XXI century, with a critical eye at a time where they have disappeared and utopian ideological struggles to gain strength to the opinion of capitalism until reduced global consumption of Being focused

Morla critical conflicts in the postmodern individual, communicating with words, signs, image and music reveals a speech that became the surprise of the National Festival of 20010.

Images Of Flea Bites On Dogs

Exercise Dramatúrgistico



fable from The story I

The original work "Ooniia or the path of the sun ", the Puerto Rican writer Amilcar Aguilú Cintron is a narrative that articulates literary timeless. Ooniia, character around which the story unfolds, has its stages crossing between parallel universes. His past-present-future is represented in a simultaneous multiple experiences encountered, waking revealed between passages from memory, despite the reality, energetic contact with nature and importance of higher states of knowledge.

dramatic adaptation to first determine fully respect and maintain the original story, for all the poetic beauty contained in its narrative resources, raw materials which would produce our vision stage.

Aware that we were dealing with a text away from formal theatrical structures, we proposed an exercise of dialogue and dramatic translation, identifying the times and the descriptive stage, to thereby place the multiple narrative and symbolic spatiality of the text, recreating analogies and equivalence in a parallel embodiment in place represent extra hidden everyday gestures of the word.

We were interested in creating a new body acting owned by the actress, who translated the codes in that gesture, reinventing and revealing imagery and playfulness in his narrative, opening and proposing viewers a visual imaginary stream, where the playful, the physical and the object, trigger a bridge in sensitive and amazement dilated, leading that connect sensory and perceptual, that strange, terrible and familiar to the human drama that takes us back to visceral and vital.
