A show full of contrasts between the most classic and the most modern, or between the ridiculous and the sacred, where the boundaries between the professions of actor and puppeteer, which have marked the trajectory of the performer Javier Aranda, are blurred. This is the proposal with which the Aragonese actor and director intends to captivate the Barcelona public with the work Saeta, which will be performed at the Centre de les Arts Lliures of the Fundació Joan Brossa starting next Thursday. For nine performances (from Wednesday to Sunday), the spectator will witness an intimate and striking journey into the abyss of death, which begins – as it could not be otherwise – with the sound of a saeta. On stage, there is a wreath of white flowers, someone appears carrying a coffin, and the voice of a spirit is heard, but then everything collapses. And it is that, in this comic tragedy, nothing is what it seems.
