The paradise that we all hope is closer than it seems, this is how ‘Paraíso siteriano’, the new play by Teatro del Cielo
Dramaturgy is from Spanish Ramón Madaula, who conceived the text in Catalan to premiere in Barcelona. The adaptation to the Spanish language for the functions in Guayaquil was carried out Roberta Pasquinucci.
The story presents Luis and Juan, two bank employees who work in the same office and who have a tradition of leaving after office, instead of arriving on time at their respective homes. One day this pair of friends invite their wives to one of these outings, and what started as an innocent question ends up becoming the cause of an awkward moment.
“Because of day-to-day things, they are not connected with their wives and this mentality begins, which begins as a game, until at some point it becomes reality and with an outcome, with this question that sets fire to a whole friendship relationship and sets fire to to a family ”, Morejón narrates, who mentions that the staging is the result of a month’s rehearsal for three to five hours a day.
The director says that the play reveals themes about the work relationships and situations, family relationships and friendship. “How long can one friend hold the other? How much can you forgive a friend? “, Morejón raises.

In the same way, the image of the woman is present all the time in the work, he affirms. “Even if there are no actresses on stage, they are the essential theme, if we remove these women from the play, there is no play. It is a super important role even though an actress is not physically there “, expresses Olmedo, who gives life to Luis.
He describes his character as someone who follows orders against his will. “It is half ‘tangerine’, but it is one of those who do not want to be where they send it. So you have this ambiguity. He doesn’t want to go home from work, he wants to spend more time elsewhere, he doesn’t want to make his life bitter, but at the same time he does things under pressure that can cost him a lot “, details the actor graduated from the Paulsen Study.
While, Aguiñaga, who personifies Juan, defines him as a man who is bored with his own life, even if he does not admit it. “He will always have some way of surprising you where he is better and generally, in almost everything, he will make you feel that he has it clearer than you”, adds the actor about his character.
To this he adds other qualifications such as a born calculator, hypocrite, a bad loser, but deep down he is still a good friend. “Sometimes he goes overboard using you to feel a little better”, emphasizes.
This is how Morejón considers it to be a work that leads to deep reflection under the genre of humor. “These characters want their lives to be more interesting, they feel that they are not the protagonists of their lives”, dice.
“They can all be found indistinctly in my character or in the character Luis, characterized by Andrés Olmedo. They are the perfect mix of who we are as humans, with ups and downs, with riches and miseries, with pros and cons “, says Aguiñaga.
The functions will be until December 11, on Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00 p.m., en the Casa Cino Fabiani (Las Peñas neighborhood, Numa Pompilio Llona street). Admission is $ 20. Reservations at 099-469-3323.
