Teatro Nacional Brings A SUNDAY IN FAMILY To Argentina 5/9 - 7/21!

A SUNDAY IN FAMILY is playing at Teatro Nacional in Argentina from May 9 to July 21, 2019.

On December 28, 1975, the leader of a revolutionary organization was kidnapped and disappeared at the edge of the Río de la Plata, in one of the recreations that line the waterfront. That day, the leader had gone to his family, bypassing several of the prescriptions that his organization had drawn a year before, after going underground. After his disappearance, the Revolutionary Court found him guilty for violating a series of rules that he himself might have formulated.
What were the responsibilities of a revolutionary driver? How did the tasks of militancy interweave with family life? How did desire and ethics coexist in this context? A family Sunday build an intense and passionate traveling through the history of Argentine militancy in the 70s.
The playwright Susana Torres Molina works here as a sort of compiler: it would not be necessary to add anything to reality, it is enough to quote and group their most dissonant versions. Then, the author does not seem to write but rather to listen , as if there was no mediation between the work and the testimony, as if the fiction was, in short, pure postproduction of History. Indeed, there is no (far from the historical thriller) combativeness or heroism in the twilight afternoon of this Sunday as a family. And yet, the scene that governs the whole work could not be more powerful: a smiling man, by the river, with "the heart more alive than ever ", is about to die.

Approximate duration: 65 minutes

This work was selected from the Convocation of theatrical projects for 2019 programming.
