If what you are looking for is an option to have a very pleasant time, laugh and enjoy the theater, The work that goes wrong is the answer.
Mexico City, October 19 (However).- The work that goes wrong returns with a new season to the Chapultepec Forum to conquer the public with its explosive mix of physical comedy, entanglements and stage disasters.
In The work that goes wrong A theater company will try to present a play in which a murder must be solved, but it seems that nothing goes as expected and the scenery begins to fall, the actors seem unprepared and everything becomes a funny disaster – at least for the audience.
This season’s cast is made up of Ana Jimena Villanueva, Ari Albarrán, Daniel Bretón, Danielle Lefaure, Daniel Haddad “Big Dan”, Daniel Super Ortiz, José Luis Rodríguez “El Guana”, Jerónimo Best, Juan Carlos Medellín, Luis Fernando Peña, Luz Aldán, Iván Carbajal, Majo Pérez, Miguel Tercero, Ramón Cadaval and Ricardo Fastlicht.
A precise work
In The work that goes wrong It seems that everything is a mistake, however, the reality is different, since every movement, dialogue and detail is very well planned and is part of a kind of choreography that leads the audience to laugh and enjoy that “nothing goes well.”
José Luis Rodríguez “El Guana” shared in an interview with However In this work it is not possible to improvise, you have to stick to the script and what has been rehearsed.
“It is a very very very precise work, it is like a little clock and I precisely believe that it does not give you a single margin to improvise the work because each word, each stroke is the entrance for a light, for a text from a partner, for something to fall from the scenery, for a pyrotechnic, so, you do not have room for improvisation, unless there is a real error, you know? If there is some minor accident on the stage, you have to solve it, but it is a work where “You have no room to improvise or to say something extra that is not in the text,” explained “El Guana.”
Lots of energy
In this play, the energy of the actors is key, since they really interact and tend to move a lot on stage. “El Guana” highlighted the importance of this aspect and the challenging aspect because it is a staging with many elements.
“It is a play where you cannot enter with a low energy because the people and the audience deserve respect, but apart from respect I think it is very dangerous to enter with a low energy to tame that monster that is the scenery and try to tell a story for more than 2 hours with a low energy, the truth is that you do owe a lot, so yes it is quite challenging, yes it is very tiring, but the truth is that it is very satisfying to hear the laughter of the audience”, he pointed out.
A work to de-stress
This work provides a time of fun, to put aside worries and just flow with the story, of which, in addition, the audience is a part by integrating them and motivating them to participate in moments with applause or questions.
“It is very satisfying for us to do our bit so that people forget for a moment the problems, the stress, the fights they have, the work, bringing the family together to go to the theater. We know that it is a great sacrifice nowadays to go as a family, buy a ticket, but believe me, the experience of experiencing the theater is wonderful, it is incomparable and the truth is that it is quite satisfactory for us, we are very grateful above all to the people who make the effort to buy a ticket and precisely for that reason we have enormous respect,” he said.
