The number 8 of the Ganbila collection includes for the first time the translation of one of the first and last theatrical performances of one of the main symbols of contemporary English theatre at the end of the twentieth century: Sarah Kane's Barracks (Blasted) and 4.48 Psychosis (4.48 psychosis) show the evolution of her writing.
Arantzazu Fernández has translated reference works from the post-dramatic theater and the “In yerface” movement. The author violated the rules of the theater, wrote cruelty with the intention of stirring the audience he brought to the surface and without charge, among other things. He created and staged an experimental, breaker, disturbing theater.
Art in general and theatre in particular aim to “move” viewers, or readers. This made the criticism look scandalous at some of its work, to the point of demanding censorship. Over the years, they wrote that he was a talented creator.
I've felt nauseous with the first theater play. The characters are in a hotel room, stepping each other and struggling to survive. My heart has been squeezed by the second representation. The protagonist of the mental illness tells us his decay, alone or with his therapist. According to the author, it is 4:48 hours, the time of the day when there is more suicide, when the action of the antidepressant drug ends and the patient awakens.
Both studies show the explosion and fracture. In both are very present sex, power, fear, loneliness, oppression, love, pain, anger, madness, sadness, death. Barbarism and poetry intersect. The first written and staging was performed at the age of 24 in 1995, at the age of 28 and the following year, after suicide, the second in 2000 was staged.
War and survival are the main axes and to represent it we are presented with a wide variety of forms of violence. In his first work we have a post-apocalyptic world in which the war taking place outside enters the hotel room. In the second we rigorously pick up the challenges of the terrible conflict that the protagonist is living in himself. Dystopia and testimony. Explode and scratch. Raw and acid Trying to wake us up from anesthesia.
