El trabajo

A very desired return: after his memorable creations Las Ideas (2016) e Yo escribo. Vos dibujás (2019), the Argentinian playwright, stage director, actor and film-maker Federico León – a major name in the independent artistic scene of Buenos Aires – will once again grace our stages, now with El Trabajo, a show that is directly inspired by the very peculiar “work” carried out in acting workshops. Drawing upon his long experience as a workshop student and teacher,  Federico León imagines a group of participants who decide to take on the most daring challenges in search of a radical form of artistic experimentation. “The show attempts to recapture that uncontrollable energy of the body that neither measures nor calculates consequences, taking risks and experimenting without any limits”, the stage director tells us. In this sort of laboratory, on the borderline between theory and practice, outcomes can be both unpredictable and brutal. To work, then!
