EFÍMERO, writing of a silent actor. A creation of Casa del Silencio - Casa del Silencio
A veteran actor (gestural wolf of the stage), arrives to rehearse his new show, it is a dark night. Upon contemplating the solitude of the theater and the emptiness of the stage, his spirit shivers. In silence, he performs a deep reflection on his artistic life and attends his own retrospective. Knowing all the secrets of his art, he recalls with the mastery of his body his own creations, works that he loves and that gave him glory. He draws impossible universes of fantastic scenes, oceanic storms, epic battles, and dreamlike worlds, plays with his body like a demiurge, explores, experiments, seeks inspiration while wondering inside himself: "Will this physical poetry entertain? Will the audience remember his jester?" The sacred art has devoured my life, and now what? Where is my way of doing theater going? And in this deep reflection about his craft, which is about his own life, he understands that his art is for himself, that where there is talent, there is no old age. And with joy, he prepares for perhaps his last performance.
The new creation of La Casa del Silencio is an investigation that arises from the study of the characters, Vasilii Vasilievich from Chekhov's *The Swan Song*, and Triboulet from Victor Hugo's *The King Amuses Himself*. This show is a deep reflection on the language of physical theater, through the role of the silent actor and the jester, using the technique of dramatic corporeal mime as a pretext for scenic word from the metatheatrical perspective, with a powerful visual image treatment.
Juan Carlos Agudelo, the disciple of the French master of silent art Marcel Marceau, offers this one-man show about a veteran gestural actor who, contemplating the solitude of the theater during a rehearsal, reflects on his art. As if it were an autobiographical piece, a kind of poem drawn on the stage, the character recalls moments from works that gave him glory, draws fantastic scenes, oceanic storms, dream worlds.
