In La guerra de los gigantes, stage director, Gustavo Tambascio, moves the story forward to a European country in 1959-1960. Olympus is a high-powered company called “Júpiter Salvatierra”, a business of heavy industry, with a management made up of women. It is a fresh take on the class struggle where the Giants are the working class and the Olympus Gods are the wealthy owners of the company.
In El imposible mayor en amor, le vence Amor, Tambascio opts for a production as similar as possible to what an audience of the 18th century would have seen. Totally respecting Baroque form, the scenery, costumes, lighting, gestures, rhetoric and dance all transport us back in time to that tradition of musical theatre.
Cappella Mediterranea under Leonardo García Alarcón come to this theatre for the first time in a double bill programme of Durón with the project of rethinking the perception of Spanish and Italian Baroque music from an angle of meridional popular folk music.
