"El Rastro", sobre la novela de Margo Glantz

Adaptation: Analía Couceyro and Alejandro Tantanian 

Director: Alejandro Tantanian 

After many years, Nora García goes back to her hometown to attend the wake of her ex-husband, Juan, who has died of a heart attack. This causes Nora to engage in a long series of thoughts related to the heart, its machinations and poetic readings. The body and its deterioration, the uninhabited space, and memories are some of the themes that appear on the scene. The heart and music work as the core of this theatrical experience. In this monologue based on the novel by the Mexican writer Margo Glantz, Analía Couceyro, with the company and direction of Alejandro Tantanian, immersed themselves in the task of making a theatrical adaptation of that text. The musicality and cadence of it led them to summon cellist Rafael Delgado who, through a network of musical notes built by him, keeps the pattern of the spectator's heartbeat. An invitation to think and enjoy the shared territories between theater and literature.
