OLYMPIA THEATER. Saint Vincent the Martyr, 44
“You will kill your father and lie with your mother.”. The Oracle of Delphi said something similar to Oedipus according to the Greek myth made famous by Sigmund Freud to formulate his psychoanalytic “complex.”. This incestuous and bizarre story dramatized in 2021 for its premiere in International Festival of Classic Theater of Mérida. It is signed by the playwright Paco Bezerra —National Prize for Dramatic Literature 2009—, that comes from denouncing the censorship imposed by the Canal Theaters (managed by the Community of Madrid) about his work I die because I don't die around the figure of Teresa of Jesús. It has always been said that the myth of Oedipus is the discovery that knowledge leads to failure but, What if what he is trying to tell us is that being alone and blind is the greatest possible success?? S.M.
