About 400 spectators attended the Buero Vallejo who scheduled the Don Juan of Blanca Portillo, with version of Juan Mayorga. • The show, two hours and twenty, buries the myth underlining its most despicable side and rewrites the role of Dona Ines.
Blanca Portillo has stripped all the work of Zorrilla's prudishness and has given the classic, with the help of the remarkable reading of Juan Mayorga for the viewer today, a twist, a few decibels more if preferred. He was dressed in jeans, he has put knee and has armed with short sword and gun. He did as Baz Luhrmann in the famous film version of Romeo and Juliet, Portillo has decided to bear his personal and contemporary review of this drama of the late sixteenth where fleshing Don Juan Tenorio, leaving their bare bones.
Plot located in a dingy room, garajero, which underlines the moral turpitude of the characters. Add any case a flash gangster-the father of Don Juan to Ciutti, makes you closer to a bodyguard to a servant, Don Luis Mejia, fills him with anger and evil and Avellaneda, puts a baseball bat and a super-duper ornery. This Don Juan seems pretty gimmicky discovering the central character as a murderer, an unscrupulous man who makes no use women be provided the first bet, a sincere man, which never what it is-hidden, a being despicable, shameless, wretched, an anti-hero in the end, is left dazzled by the naked body of Ines, who is anything but Dona.
The show, is a joint production of the National Classical Theatre Company, arrived last night at the Teatro Buero Vallejo (or half full: little public for a city that each year goes out to see the 'Don Juan' Mendoza representing Gentes de Guadalajara). It dared to compare it with the original and is compulsory leave prejudices aside to fully enjoy this intense theatrical scenery -of attractive-, showing the raw soul and characters, wicked radicals. In this high voltage Don Juan, sex and violence underlines: Dona Brigida Ciutti masturbates coupled with Don Juan; Don Gonzalo de Ulloa hits a cake to the Mother Abbess, which inevitably leads to fall to the ground; is encañonan with guns, punches are another word ... this is the most despicable Don Juan of a world that is too.

In this chronicle of life ephemeral, welcome is given by the spirits. Dressed in black suits and white masks, they seem to warn the public that they live among us. The work begins with a kind of time travel, featuring Don Juan died between spirits who walk while singing voice that narrates the first scene is heard. The wonderful voice of actress Eva Martin, which became pregnant. She assumes that spirit of Tenorio, who is responsible for introducing each frame with sad, heartbreaking songs while scene changes occur.
Two hours and twenty lasting assembly are not made due to heavy pace that make the characters printing. All are fine. Beatriz Argüello shine as Bridget-woman take- weapons and Jose Luis Garcia-Perez who plays Don Juan. Despite his gruff voice, which sometimes made incomprehensible text says the character very well, also in the second part where he gets complicated, drunk, delirious and fascinating. Ariana Martinez also shines as Dona Ines. Candida unrecognizable at first and then his character is completely re-visioned and amazed that although redeem his Don Juan, his spirit was away from all candor and sweetness. He falls in love, yes. But that does not stop him that her lover is a miserable. Sorry, yes, but not forgotten. And it shows launching a final spit on the corpse of Don Juan, which is now the road to hell. The myth falls. It is buried forever. It is the victory of honesty on the moral turpitude.
And in the end, the audience applauded much to this Don Juan, which even garnered some bravo. And faith, by Jove !, which was not easy.
