From cartoons to the bar

PalmThe twenty-seventh edition of the Teatro de Barra has teleported the comics to the venues, which suddenly become peculiar settings where the adventures of two unique protagonists unfold, who for the occasion were the children of a pencil and an eraser and are transformed as if for art. Thus, Batman, Robin, Tintin, Karmen and Teo are the protagonists of this exercise of sleight of hand. Without going any further, Josep Ramon Cerdà, author and director ofBetween two worlds, has imagined what an encounter would be like, as casual as it is causal, between two characters imagined and drawn by the author himself, Guillem March. They are Karmen and Batman in a situation in which he, amnesiac, doesn't quite know who he is, although he thinks he's the superhero, and she, very aware that she is a two-dimensional character, will make him come down to earth and put his head in its place, because one of the main virtues of the female protagonist is ability. Aina Zuazaga is a comic book Karmen, who seems drawn, so impeccably, fantastic, and Àlex Tejedor, more human, plays the tormented and somewhat confused character with the same consistency. A complex mix, without a single phrase that doesn't have solidity and specific weight, which doesn't allow you to miss a single one. Don't do it. It's a great little piece of jewelry.

At the antipodes we find Ding, in three sketches, three other superheroes trying to find the woman of their dreams and vice versa. Three dates, things from Tinder, starring Joan Manel Vadell, as the invisible man, the elastic man and a third one that is difficult to define, but in any case, make him mad and you will know and verify it, while Cata Rosell is the young girl, or not so young, who is among the superheroes after having failed with all of them. Funny, very funny, to the point that the audience would continue enjoying the adventures of the protagonists trying to find a partner.

Teo has a date, By Deneb Alonso, directed by Luca Bonadei and starring Pat Aguilar and Toni de los Ángeles, it presents a new encounter between Teo and one of the three twins, where they both have the first date of their lives. Childlike, although the years have passed them by, innocent, fun, and somewhat pathetic are the protagonists of this ingenious, but not at all childish, or even somewhat cruel reflection on the passing of time.

Totor, which is none other than Tintin, played by Guillem Juaneda, goes to a bar in search of some of the characters who have accompanied him on his adventures. There he meets the manager and owner of the establishment, a reflection of the Brewster sisters fromArsenic for compassion, performed by an impeccable Aina Cortés. Black humor that never disappoints, with a double ending, although the first one was enough. Written by Santi Celaya and directed by David Mataró.

The Fall of the House of Wayne, Written and directed by Xisco Joan, it deals with the aging of two superheroes who were always together and who cinema has separated, namely Batman and Robin, played, respectively, by Enric García and Pedro Orell. Two legendary characters about to be given up on after many years of not receiving a single call to go save Gotham or the world. Better the idea than the resolution.
