A Puerta Cerrada

A version of a classic by Jean-Paul Sartre that revolves around the weight of responsibility and the search for freedom, performed by Isabel Ordaz, Pere Ponce, Olivia Molina and Jesús Asensi at the Teatro Apolo.

This production stages an adaptation of the play by Jean-Paul Sartre, a text that examines the consequences of actions and the room for manoeuvre each person has in making decisions. It sits within the register of contemporary theatre, with the conflict between the characters as the axis of the performance.

Isabel Ordaz, a Spanish actress with a career dating back to 1982, shares the cast with Pere Ponce, Olivia Molina and Jesús Asensi. The staging presents an intense confrontation between the performers, with human fears and doubts as its central subject matter.

The production links those fears to present-day concerns: the difficulty of communicating, the need for approval from others, and the tension between selfishness and generosity. It is staged at the Teatro Apolo, a Barcelona theatre that mainly hosts theatre performances.
