La Beckett recovers until January 16 the political satire of Marc Artigau performed by the Parking Shakespeare company
Shakespeare parking, one of the resident companies of Sala Beckett for the 2021-22 season, has successfully resumed the functions of ‘The kart racer’, the latest from Marc Artigau. The work, suspended due to covid cases for a time, has returned to the scene. The action, set in the mid-eighties, shows two strange members of a Catholic organization who subject the owner of a mechanical workshop to successive hypnosis sessions, to be used in a suspicious operation to export missals in Andorra. When the mechanic’s brothers discover it, they turn to the services of a hypnosis professional to help them counteract the influence that the Catholic organization is having on their brother’s brain and get to the bottom of the matter, inside the unconscious of a whole country. The atmosphere of Catalan society in those years, led by figures such as Jordi Pujol, Josep Luis Núñez or Pope John Paul II, serves as the context of a show that questions the origins of the welfare state.
This work in political satire key It has sold out in different functions and there are only a few days to see it until next January 16.
