Overview

In a flash, twenty years have passed. Memories. Moments that never disappear. Feelings when you see the impossible become possible. Or laugh uncontrollably. We fly away. Up in the air. The senses are free, do as they please. This year, the variety show is called Vulkan. I promise a volcanic eruption. A scream for humanity. There will be love as hot as lava, I can promise that. Music and variety and fantasy against a natural explosion of talent. To the wonder of the variety show's own poetry, in the great story in the middle of our lives, to remind us of the present. That we have each other. That we must believe in the dream that everything is possible. Mr. Fiasconi returns with his hat and an incredibly heavy bag. A dream that comes true in the middle of reality. Welcome to Varieté Vulkan!

Tiago Guedes returns to Dennis Kelly, the British playwright with whom he has already enjoyed success in his dizzying descent into the depths of human complexity. After Órfãos, the director and stage director now tackles The Ritual Slaughter of Gorge Mastromas, a 2013 text about the banality of evil in the person of the man that Kelly's play scrutinizes in retrospect: "Existence is not what you thought it was until now. It is not honest, it is not kind, it is not fair. Most of the world has no idea about this; they believe in God, or Daddy, or Marx, or the invisible hand of the market, or honesty, or kindness. They go through life with their eyes closed, getting beaten up and screwed over. He's like that. You're like that. But a tiny part of us, let's call ourselves the resistance, knows the true nature of life. The world is ours for the taking. We are powerful and rich and have everything, because we will do whatever it takes.
