Theater of Fine Arts in Guatemala is like a big tooth decay.
Inside, in addition to cold walls and damaged seats as the gums of an old, containing a huge vacuum that crawls along several meters above the seats to the ceiling. So cold
space is heated, though now only very occasionally when, by another theater company are encouraged to use their boards in a site located a few meters from The Cock and the Historical Center.
Just last Friday was the turn Three ancient seas, a tale of three old men standing in front of the ocean.
The author of the drama is the Argentine Aristides Vargas. The play was acted by the Guatemalan and Piedad Patricia Orantes, the Honduran Edgar Valeriano as Marcial, and Omar El Salvador and Nicasio Renderos.
I touched the right side inside the decayed tooth, where it's hard to hear the parliaments, so that I could not hear everything. Therefore, to avoid becoming with a poor assessment, the next day I went to see the play again, this time the English Cooperation Centre in Antigua Guatemala.
The second presentation was offered in the multipurpose room of that place, where it is very difficult to see the full theatrical box because it is not a theater but a space with no stage, improvised for the purpose. There could not see, but listen because the room has good acoustics.
So I saw the work on Friday, Fine Arts, and heard on Saturday in cooperation. I built and nurtured a puzzle to me while I boast of having appreciated the step by Guatemala Three of ancient seas more than any other spectator.
The work, premiered in Quito this year, about three old friends. A former postal worker, a soldier who just came to say seudoabogado sergeant and interesting conversations. For any society, the elderly tend to be somewhat less than a hindrance, but in this work, Aristides Vargas shows us the funny, contradictory and even liars. In other words, the old are an extension of what we've been all my life.
friends watch The ship or aircraft, dead, migrants and some crustaceans, all pumping of an intense reflective attitude, so much that we returned Aristides Vargas the credibility of the playwrights of our time, many more engaged in the performance in the equatorial deep human being. The author makes every sentence of his work is important to question life, the vastness, weather, pain and happiness.
As for the performances, Orantes, Valeriano and lucid Renderos are three American players, some of the cream to be found in the region. In this work, as in others, approach their roles with heart and with great eloquence. Unnecessary in this case, I think, is the abuse of localism "dad" by the Salvadoran Renderos.
Moreover, while presentations will take the praise worthy artists well embossed, it is fair to note that Renderos and Valeriano, unlike Orantes, were closer to being two burly fifties two ancient seas. Leave the question of how it would be if both players had their characters aged about 20 years, so we would have had before a powerful intertextual old and not robust adults aged dint text and makeup.

Aristides Vargas and Charles French.
