Teoría y práctica

A comedy about two couples of friends who, after a weekend in Madrid, see love, fidelity and sex put to the test between a living room and a garage. Directed by Juan Martín Gravina.

This comedy follows Daniel and Virginia, who spend a weekend in Madrid at the home of Carlos and Marta, lifelong friends. After dinner, Carlos offers to take Virginia to the airport and Daniel decides to stay one more night. Alone with Marta, Daniel discovers that she has prepared a conversation that turns into a power struggle, while he keeps secrets that could harm her.

In the garage, Carlos and Virginia resume a postponed conversation that may upset the apparently comfortable balance of their relationship. The piece revolves around love, fidelity and sex, and confronts what we believe we have sorted out with the way we actually behave. It does not set out to be a moralising play, although it does make the four characters learn a lesson.

The cast comprises Clara Navarro, José Dávila, Verónica Bagdasarian and Juan Martín Gravina. Juan Martín Gravina directs the staging; the original idea and the dramaturgy are by Miguel Ángel Cárcano, and Verónica Bagdasarian is also assistant director and executive producer. The production is by Hay Olor a Gol producciones, with lighting by David Amandi and Israel Carrión as lighting and sound technician. Teatro Lara programmes mainly performing arts, with a particular focus on comedy.
