Suerte

A play following the encounter at a casting between a young aspiring actress and a performer with years in the profession, set against the backdrop of the weight placed on appearance, age and professional recognition.

Suerte is a play that takes the audience into a casting audition. A young hopeful arrives determined to get her chance and meets a woman who has spent years in acting and knows the rules of a demanding profession well. The conversation between them gradually turns into a more personal exchange about the frustrations of carving out a place in the arts.

The show reflects on the weight placed on appearance, the passing of the years and the demand to constantly prove one's own worth. On stage are Cecilia Vilas, Paula Lucas and Paula Muñoz Barrales, the latter also the author of the text. The director is Macarena Torres.

The show is staged at La Escalera de Jacob, in Madrid, a venue that hosts concerts and shows. It is a story centred on the relationship between two characters from different generations, putting the difficulties of working as an actor in the foreground from two different experiences.
