Online Theater: La Gesta Heroica

Following the sanitary protocol established by the National State and the Government of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires regarding the cases and transmission of COVID-19, the Ministry of Culture of the Nation has ordered the closure of public activities in the national museums of throughout the country as well as the Cervantes National Theater until further notice.

This weekend "La Gesta Heroica" will be available . A play inspired by King Lear by William Shakespeare. The Shakespearean world is inexorable and absurd. It presents forces that cannot be fully understood or located by rational logic.

Authoritarian and capricious, King Lear imposes on his three daughters a ridiculous contest of affective rhetoric. Basic distortion. That overflow, that "excess", triggers the Tragedy. Division of the Kingdom, collapse of the legal order, confrontations between parents and children, between brothers. Treason, deception, murder.
