La voz humana – The Human Voice
Data
=> Script Translation, Pablo Rey
=> Adapted and directed in Argentina by Gaston Marioni (1rst run) / Humberto Tortonese (2nd run)
=> Actor on stages: Gaston Marioni / Humberto Tortonese
Synopsis
Initially premiered in Argentina in 2005, for the independent theatrical sector, the great and famous love pains by phone of the legendary Jean Cocteau’ master piece, “La Voix Humaine”, was adapted for the first time in Argentina at the Theater Estudio, and then at the Beckett Theater, under the direction of Gaston Marioni. During the same year, the play was rerun in a tragicomic version directed and performed by Humberto Tortonese at the Broadway Theater. “The play is dramatic, but I think Cocteau used to laugh, because a so desperate woman may induce you some laughter,” said the actor in his monologue version. From the initial version at theater, «The Human Voice» also has been adapted into an operatic version, written by Francis Poulenc, and another cinematographic version directed by Roberto Rossellini.
Since the multi-faceted poet, playwright, novelist and French painter, Jean Cocteau, wrote “The Human Voice” and premiered the play at La Comedie Française in 1930, the play still remains a kind of a journey that takes us to the depth of being ; an eternal question continues beating and always re-emerging from this dramatic play about human feelings and their limits: « What’s able to do a desperate person in front of the loss of love? »
Synopsis:
A lonely woman waits for the call of her beloved. Meanwhile, she dresses herself with anxiety, desolation and anguish, until it becomes real. Her senses transcend and remain. When the call finally turns concrete, the voice appears from the other side: it generates attitude changes for the different arguments that her lover come developing, from deception to some of the most kind words.
Words and silences caress her and hurt her, they get lost, they return the invisible to something corporeal. The work’s introduced from a woman’ soul, a woman who reaches the limit of her own desperation and rediscovers herself in it. On stage, the most intimate reality manifests itself by creating an atmosphere charged with emotions.
