Oedipus. A través de las llamas

FROM THURSDAY 2 ON SUNDAY 5/2
OLYMPIA THEATER. Saint Vincent the Martyr, 44

“Matarás a tu padre y yacerás con tu madre”. Algo parecido le dijo el Oráculo de Delfos a Edipo según el mito griego que hiciera famoso Sigmund Freud para formular su “complejo” psicoanalítico. Llega al Olympia esta historia incestuosa y rocambolesca teatralizada en 2021 para su estreno en el International Festival of Classic Theater of Mérida. La firma el dramaturgo Paco Bezerra —Premio Nacional de Literatura Dramática 2009—, que viene de denunciar a viento y marea la censura impuesta por los Teatros del Canal (gestionados por la Comunidad de Madrid) sobre su obra Muero porque no muero en torno a la figura de Teresa de Jesús. Siempre se ha dicho que el mito de Edipo es el descubrimiento de que el saber conduce al fracaso pero, ¿y si lo que intenta decirnos es que quedarse solo y ciego es el mayor de los éxitos posibles? S.M.
