'Loop': A magnificent dialogue between father and daughter

It has happened, it is happening and it will continue to happen. It is a loop, a loop. The loop of the relationship between parents and children when they have passed, or almost passed, adolescence and make decisions about their lives and work without following parental instructions or being influenced by their parents' opinions or reflections beyond the love that binds them. A particularly important and probably conflictive situation when, finally, they decide to leave the nest and fly on their own. And this is what the prolific author rightly raises. Ramon Madaula in its new proposal, much superior to the previous two (Buffalo Bill in Barcelona and Conquistadors). Loop It is a work full of humanity, intimate and universal, which, without being autobiographical as the author claims, has points of contact with his experience as a father.

A father and a daughter. He is a non-famous sculptor, married with two daughters, who has left to teach and who had to overcome the insistence of their parents for him to do something useful. A decision not at all random, because what he does is sculpt the material as he wants to sculpt his daughter. His role is that of the father who asks: Are you sure about what you're doing? Have you thought it through? The daughter is packing her bags to go to the other side of the world with her boyfriend, whom she's known for a month. It's not anecdotal that she asks for her family's good suitcase.

Madaula constructs a magnificent and agile dialogue full of emotion between two people who love each other, who want to understand each other, and who can't find the way. Well directed by Mònica Bofill, the emotional precision of Father Madaula is fantastic, as is Júlia Genís's daughter, as in love as she is fearful about the life path she's embarking on. A play that will surely have the long run it deserves. Highly recommended.
