(FOUR STARS)
The young Guadalupe (Veronica Pelaccini) is a empowered woman who has been professionally trained and works as a real estate agent. She is married to Sergio, has a daughter who attends primary school and endures, with resignation, the friendship of Leticia, mother of a classmate of her daughter’s whom she has known since the little Cutu and
Stefi, they had the garden adaptation.
In this relationship, our protagonist is so condescending that she “turns her ear” to listen to the woman’s concerns and even accompanies her to an art appreciation workshop because she feels that the other does not have her own initiative. Always ready, she attends with sorority the constant demand for attention from her friend who lives complaining about Adrián, her husband who is dedicated to the law. But this practice of active and empathetic listening is exhausting.
Guadalupe also has life circumstances that she would like to share. To make matters worse, she has to deal with a family asset: seven pieces of land without deeds that belonged to her grandfather. Her unexpected suggestion, without imagining what could happen when two dissatisfied souls join together, will come from Leti, who tells her that her husband is influenced by her and she knows many notaries in the Balcarce area, where the properties are located. her. Thus, Guada and Adrián head towards the interior of the province and share moments in which she will feel that he can take her out of the constant boredom in which she is installed. What happens, including the unforeseen ending, must be seen and enjoyed in the intimate space of the theater.
Lautaro Vilo, renowned playwright and theater director, of pieces such as “An act of communion“, “Swiss cabin” and “Scandinavia“, adapter of works like “King Lear“, “Henry IV” and “Hamlet“, delves into the twists and turns of this wife crossed by the vicissitudes of time in an extremely entertaining way in her observations and, at the same time, reveals herself as a sensitive connoisseur of the feminine universe.
The look of that creature subjected to the rules of the correct bourgeoisie that he imagined is completed with Pelaccini’s performance, in a perfect amalgam that finishes giving existence to the text. The actress takes control of the situation,
she tells stories, dialogues with other characters and even momentarily transforms into a “wedding planner” who drinks excessively. With talent, she covers different emotions and areas in such an explicit and truthful way that she captivates us.
for an hour in a frenzy in which we cannot be oblivious.
