Synopsis

In the second collaboration between the playwriter Alfredo Sanzol and T de Teatre both left their comfort zones, sketches and short stories, in order to face together the challenge of creating a complete story from start to end with an introduction a main plot and an ending.

The play premiered in 2012 four years after the start of the crisis of 2008, an important date to remember since the piece revolves around it. Not only the economical crisis but also the moral one, the loss of ethical referents both ideological and political and maybe even the midlife crisis.

Six business partners, four men and two women, run an economically mediocre company when they accept to sell it to a Chinese businessperson. This hilarious comedy with touches of drama puts on stage the collective conflict lived by its protagonists, their fears, anxieties and miseries without an apparent drama, navigating amidst a comedy full of wit and a suprising plot twist at the end. Our protagonists will see the possibility of making a bigger win on the sale than initially expected putting in evidence a lack of morals the spectators will be surprised by.

Indeed the audience leaves the room with a smile on their face but also asking themselves where the fiction they have just seen on stage ends and the reality they are met back with in the streets starts. The laughter caused by the always witty and hilarious dialogues by Sanzol hide, in Aventura! (Adventure!), a bitter and uncomfortable reality of the morally unjustifiable behaviors provoked by the unknown, or even better said a fear of the future, one of the main themes of this piece.

Translated to Catalan by Sergi Belbel the show has a spectacular scenography by Alejandro Andújar and stage lighting design by Carlos Lucena. The music, bringing us back to the happy sixties was created by Fernando Velázquez. Mamen Duch, Marta Pérez, Carme Pla, Albert Ribalta, Jordi Rico and Àgata Roca are the six actresses and actors.
