1936 is a multifaceted and choral vision of the most significant historical events in the history of Spain, the Spanish Civil War. This production offers an omniscient view, far removed from any partisan or propagandistic character, based on a research process carried out by a team made up of playwrights, performers, lighting, costume, stage, music, sound and video designers, who have been conducting workshops for a year, researching with historians and real testimonies.
We will not find the slightest temptation to rewrite history. In '1936' there is a great overlapping of layers at the service of the narrative, a mixture of reality and fiction far removed from artifice.
WHY?
For many years, the official history in this country has been told from the prism of the victors, a sad word, of the rebels. And this lack of historical education reaches us to this day. But the theatrical view of this production is not based on the dichotomy of the victors and the defeated, of friends and enemies. Our view will be analytical, critical and documentary. Our responsibility is to reincarnate a war. And a war is not only a failure as a society, but an enormous emotional tear. A civil war, between brothers, is possibly the worst of wars. Theatre can reflect that emotion. I want the spectator to reflect, for our teenagers and young people to understand, and for us all to be able to put ourselves in the place of others. What does it feel like under a bombing, sheltered in a metro station, together with your neighbours, who will possibly denounce you for your ideas? What does it feel like fleeing along a road in Malaga while the German army and Italian planes exterminate the crippled, the elderly and children? What does it feel like to make the decision to raze Guernica?
() The conflict is too big, its ramifications, causes and consequences. But we are going to try to do theatre. We are going to try to paint a landscape eloquent enough to serve to remember and imagine, to ask ourselves questions that lead us to better understand, to try to know where the wounds are and try to stop them from making us bleed again. Because there was blood, and a lot of it.
The civil war gave rise to a Franco regime supported by the church, the army, the aristocracy and a large social mass. It is the people who make me question myself the most. How and why do they support a regime based on repression? Being human, how can one not be a humanist. And today? Before, the extreme right was imposed by coups d'état, but today they are voted for at the polls. Why?
