★★★★ Adrián (Joaquín Furriel) and Laura (Florencia Raggi), the main couple in this original and intelligent comedy written by actor Oscar Martínez, belong to a wealthy bourgeoisie. He can afford to pay for therapy sessions with Klimovsky (Juan Leyrado), a professional of some repute. She is an architect, has an extremely pleasant personality, dresses elegantly, maintains an ethereal figure and, according to her husband, is a verbal Olympic champion. Both cultivate good living, share coexistence in a comfortable home and do not seem to have problems associated with money or work. But that apparent daily happiness also has its ordeals, those little details that can alter or modify the harmony. Things that perhaps for other beings could be nonsense, but that can affect, in a subtle way, the peace of the home, to the point of transforming manners governed by good manners into an outburst of claims that make them related to any other person. Because, ultimately, as they say: “Under the skin, we are all the same”.
Thus, after ten years of marriage and a child together, Adrián concludes that he can no longer live with Laura, although he cannot live without her either. He is a prisoner of his own anxiety and is a bundle of contradictions and fears that the acute psychoanalyst will try to appease. To do this, he must investigate and discover what are the things that really unite the marriage. It is clear that everything happens, as the title indicates, in the boy’s head. That area inside each one, which the playwright Harold Pinter called “space of musing”. There where the craziest fantasies grow, the dreams of revenge and the illusion of absolute power, the absurd claim will appear, fueled by jealousy towards Marcelo, a mutual friend, cataloged as a professional seducer. With incisive and brilliant dialogue, the piece ends by demonstrating the need for a code of coexistence in order to support each other.
Furriel’s work is superlative, Raggi surprises with his dedication and Leyrado brings skill and presence. Directed, with rhythm and precision, by Javier Daulte.
