Unmasking the mocking and despicable Tenorio......
"José Luis García-Pérez delivered the character Tenorio outstandingly, with that trickster and despicable, to the viewer who ends up rejecting as the director has been able to eliminate the sympathy. It never had to enjoy this being heartless on arriving despite of his own conscience."
Intense. Thus conceived and transmits Blanca Portillo's Don Juan Tenorio. Intensity that goes over and takes the Viewer to the limit. Tension in a classic text reviewed by Juan Mayorga to unmask the Tenorio.
Teatro de Rojas, last night had the level force of an artistic cast. Improvement and a step for a work, the most represented of the national drama, which still has much to discover. Yesterday it was discovered what a rogue and cruel Don Juan is. The captivating with the consciousness that attacks and squeeze the Joker without values, for which life is nothing more than a mere fun.
Superb staging fleeing from romanticism to present a contemporary and functional scenery where the movement and the choreography of actors with a musical backdrop and the voice of Eva Martin give way to action.
Blanca Portillo unmasks the Tenorio and she uses the parallel scene where the young Doña Inés, dam of love by ignorance, reads the verses that Don Juan writes without feeling, counting syllables to find the gravel and the rhyme. A Tenorio, that the wrong concept of Manhood and a Dona Ines who is not seduced, but deceived, give a twist to José Zorrilla text, to the end, presented to reflect without falling asleep in the formal beauty that the stage directors had given so far.

Abuse and corruption. Violence and tension. Fear and extortion. Situations brought to the present day with an outstanding verse that surprises by its weight and truth. Plus, when the maestro Vicente Fuentes is located behind the work that actors and actresses have made to speak in verse.
Talk to not to recite. Conversations in verse that gets out to the than known 'would it not true, angel of love, in this pure secluded shore the moon shines and you can breathe better?' sound not to love, but misleading.
José Luis García-Pérez is given to the character Tenorio, in an outstanding way with that mocking and despicable which the viewer ends up rejecting. Because the Director has been able to eliminate the sympathy which never had to enjoy this being without guts on which comes in spite of his own conscience.
Blanca Portillo has given thus a coherent point of view José Zorrilla de Don Juan Tenorio with contemporary thriller action where the truth is above the text.
