La Fura offers the public to experience the extreme uncertainty of the hostages kidnapped by a terrorist group in a theater
La Fura dels Baus will run for two days at the Festival of San Javier their last assembly hall "Boris Godunov", inspired by making Dubrovka Moscow theater in October 2002 during a performance of the musical Nord-Ost.
The Catalan company has received 39 Festival Award for Lifetime Achievement, makes a proposal stage designed for maximum realism possible and put the viewer in the center of a reality known only through the media, leading to TV drama as a genre as docudrama.
The reality of that part Alex Ollé, director of assembly, stars a group of Chechen terrorists demanding the departure of Russian troops from their country, held for two days and average 900 people in the Moscow theater.
The Russian government finally entered the theater in a show of force to 130 people will die without the terrorists.
La Fura, who compiled all the information and testimonies of the hostages has mounted a fiction in which Chechnya has been replaced by Bercania a nonexistent country, a symbol of the invaded countries with which they have also tried to avoid references to any current conflict .
The work has been divided into the three-day abduction was carried out throughout the grounds of the auditorium, no separation between stage and seats.
A large screen rendering support at that time are the spectators, "Boris Godunov" and news programs, or development of the Cabinet of political and military crisis which address the crisis sparked by the kidnapping.
The development of the action shows the evolution of terrorists, with different psychological profiles and the tension created as the hours go by uncertainty about the end of the situation.
Uncertainty also goes to the public that live closely the role of victims, the hostages could do nothing to resolve the situation in the hands of terrorists, the government and the military.
The title of the show "Boris Godunov" is not casual.
The director Alex Ollé also responsible for the drama with David Plana, has replaced the musical that was represented at the time of the kidnapping of the theater for this work of Pushkin, around the figure of Tsar Boris Godunov, in which we talk about power , corruption and frauds to come to power, which establishes a parallel with the terrorist action that has occurred in the theater.
