Extraction Of Trimyristin From Nutmeg

on a vow of silence, Veronica McLoughlin

On Sunday I went to see a vow of silence, the story of a kiss, written and directed by Veronica Mc Laughlin, theater space Elkafka, Lambaré 866 (4862 5439)


White Silence A play is-also-an event sound. Kartun, master playwright, spoke in musical metonymy writer's ear works. Rubén Szuchmacher, master directors was an exercise for his disciples to compose a theatrical event based on a sound matrix (the case I remember was a tape recording from the musician Edgardo Rudnitzky). The classic works written in verse, the old, amplified with the mask or "per-person" voice of the actors. The dreams and the theater, silence is a musical silence as a value in the art of combining sounds.


Vow of Silence is the staging of the delicate score that surrounds a gesture, the story of a kiss, amplified sound and movement by the archetypal figures in a fable.


plot summary
A quiet and demure woman staying with a lonely man. The desire, soft, accurate, undeniable, exerts a gentle pressure on the habits.


Fable: The train, the bag, water
To achieve the expansion (and interest) of the gesture, said, the book provides the time and space in the fable, its characters and story elements are : an old suitcase that refers to its archetype, the sound of water, the roar of the train-trip-thunder symbol, dim lighting, clothing classless and literary characters: the male energetic and noisy, and the seminarian silent quintessence Immaculate body.

Women
girl
The small and intimate audience of Elkafka crying, touched by the loss of a renewed innocence. The characters are not children, but it's as if they were. She does not speak and then speak: the breakdown of the expected benefits enjoyment.

Vow of Silence circumvents the obstacle of all public areas, pointing, modified, novelty: for this persistent torsion-making talent of the actors, the soundtrack and the use of time-a seamstress nun sleeping in a suitcase and wakes up one sunny morning with birds with a "book of penance" hidden, alone in the house inhabited by a man, giving away the artificiality and becomes intimately erotic.

Tell me a story
Aware and thematic exhibits her work in putting procedural abyss: "Tell me a story," he says almost the first time, as if just learned to speak, "the woman girl. And he tells the story of himself, who receives it. The meeting of literary elements and metateatreales, I believe, allow focus to move the "naturalness of behavior", amplified. And it is this slight movement that proposes and bodies while their strange tension, that for which even the empty space, the intriguing moments in which neither actor or actress is on stage, is inhabited.

A door
How to speak of love, asks from the program's author and director. Quoting Barthes, love is "madness is the region where the language is both too much and too little, excessive and poor." However, the language of Vow of Silence is nothing excessive or poor, but rather think about the exposition of a thesis about the perfection, the virtue of the need. Approaches, for its brevity and the small tour of his bow, to a year. Exercise approved: the sequence of the dress on, in which a single step on skirt is repeated indefinitely, says it all.

My conclusion is that Vow of Silence does not refer to love, which is imprecise, but the refined erotic gesture. Impossible-the complete works of a gesture, or Hollywood-the guy who saves the girl and, after changing the established order, is rewarded by a kiss-here music and body become, without being dance. There are forty minutes, no more, a gesture that has no time. The charm and accurately transform a low history of a kiss in a play.
