Description
Rottweiler is Antonio Bermudez’s nom de guerre. Jaime Reverter is the host of Lights and Shadows, a “hard-hitting, real” show that does not “sugar-coat the facts”. A TV studio, a live interview, an outcome tinged by the colours of tragedy. Rottweiler is a reflection on the use of violence by people who engage in far-right movements and the way certain TV shows manipulate information. This work by Spanish playwright Guillermo Heras, written in 2006, at a time in which the concepts of “fake news” and “post-truth” had not yet achieved the central position they hold today, can be seen as possessing a premonitory quality. Stage director Ricardo Simões brings us a scenic approach that questions how lies are diffused under the guise of truth. “What can we believe when we hear, read or view a piece of news?”, this Teatro do Noroeste – Centro Dramático de Viana production asks us. What is truth? What is violence?
