Overview
Baroque cabaret directed by Ángel Ruiz, tracing the reign of Philip IV through a lucid and provocative jester, between Golden Age texts and songs from different eras.
The production places at its centre a jester, half comedian and half confidant of King Philip IV, who acts as a guide through the court. With irony and audacity, this character lays bare the inner workings of power and the passions hidden behind the curtain, while history and fiction intertwine on the same stage.
The show combines texts from the Golden Age with songs by Monteverdi, José Marín and Juan Hidalgo, in an aesthetic that blends the classical and the contemporary. The performance dispenses with the solemnity of the historical drama and involves the audience as direct accomplices in the performance.
With a tone that alternates satire and sensitivity, the play presents art as a way of looking at power and the human condition. Ángel Ruiz writes the dramaturgy and directs, and the cast comprises Ángel Ruiz and Bru Ferri.
