Menú cerrado

Comedy by Jordi Casanovas directed by Carlos Aladro, which begins with a gathering of friends to talk about friendship, social masks and the difficulty of showing vulnerability. It is performed at the Teatro Infanta Isabel.

Menú cerrado is a comedy written by Jordi Casanovas. Under the guise of an evening among friends, the show examines the masks we wear in order to relate to others and how difficult it is for many men to let their more fragile side show. The humour relies on sharp dialogue and recognisable situations, and mixes laughter with a certain discomfort.

The staging is by Carlos Aladro. The cast includes Carlos Santos as Eduardo, Raúl Fernández de Pablo as Óscar and Nacho López as Mateo. It is presented as a contemporary production with a brisk pace, in which a dinner among friends turns into an emotional tug-of-war charged with irony and tension.

The technical team is completed by José Manuel Guerra on lighting, Daniel Jumillas on sound design, José Novoa on set design and Yolanda Arestegui on costumes. Candela Arestegui is assistant director, Gabriela Cobos on stage machinery, Javier Torres Cambero as lighting technician, Lucia Arestegui on props, Jaime Navarro Aparicio in management and Jesús Cisneros in production. The show is staged at the Teatro Infanta Isabel, in Madrid.
