Few or very few will be the plays where silence is most abundant, as in ‘Silencio’, a theatrical piece written and directed by Juan Mayoraga that it has Blanca Portillo as the protagonist.
Premieres at the Spanish Theater this play that takes to the stage the speech that Mayoraga gave on May 19, 2019 on the occasion of his admission to the Royal Spanish Academy.
A speech that invites you to discover the importance of silence in the art of theater and in life. Silence is that “lack of noise, abstention from speaking or musical pause”, which from the theater invites us to reflect.
The actress explains that from the beginning she felt that the issue had to do with her, because when she does the performance she feels that she defends “a totally honest ideological and emotional place.” Emotionally, Portillo says, the text runs through her completely.
And it is that this work conveys that “silence is absolutely necessary and we have much less love for him than we should have.” “We should be a little bit quieter and think twice,” says the artist.
