Alberto
Ajaka, author and director of each of the same things, just won the ACE Award as best actor in fringe theater for their work on raised wing.
Several young artists feel called to reflect on the political and pour it into their works. An example is the excellent My life after, Lola Arias. Another is the case of each of the same things, Alberto Ajaka presented in the climbing room. It is a commonplace to repeat that Buenos Aires theater spaces proliferate exponentially. The room became Ajaka house and cultural center since last year with a varied and interesting programming.
Each of the same things is a work in two parts. The first takes place on mattresses spread across the stage space. The nine actors speak in dreams and sleep. And whispers compose a choral history of politics in Argentina. Each name has a resonance, a phonetic play, an association as arbitrary as recognizable. A hit is the use of space. Following an aesthetic of great austerity: the peeling walls and exposed brick, the only props are these mattresses. The lighting is poor and virtuous, fluorescent tubes that go out by dividing the scenes. Then follows a section of monologues. Each actor is master of his little world of dreams, nightmares and outdated thinking up an attractive patchwork and rhythm. Stories are often trivial but draw the map of a generation: their choices, their limits, their pettiness. One intervention is out of registration, rather than casual, edgy sound. In the center, an actress questioned the authority of the father. His voice is tragic, his speech, pathetic. We propose the painful path of a nation without fathers. In the second part, completely changes the tone and the proposal. Seems to have triumphed oppressive climate that one tragic voice. The use of masks, are cardboard boxes with holes for eyes and mouth to hide the actors' faces is monotonous and obvious in its symbolism. The hiding of the faces, their inflections, their unique expressive generates anxiety. It is difficult to combine an act with another. How to understand the final hymn of those boxes chattering in the snow? Then, there is only confusion.
