Books That Cross Pathsverified
La Salita opens its 26-27 season with a revival of Libros cruzados, by Antonio Tabares and Delirium Teatro, directed by Severiano García. The starting point is bookcrossing: leaving a book in a public place so that someone else finds it and passes it on. Three women rethink their lives after reading a copy found by chance. This is the third and final announced performance, a midday session running for about one hour and forty-five minutes.
La Salita opens its 26-27 season with a revival of Libros cruzados, by Antonio Tabares and Delirium Teatro. The play starts from bookcrossing: leaving a book in any public place, a street, a park or an airport, so that someone else finds it, reads it and lets it go again, forming a chain. The copy in circulation is Anna Karenina, by Tolstoy.
Prompted by that chance reading, three women are forced to face themselves: Mariana, a museum attendant who lives an insipid reality; Patricia, a novelist whose craft and the honesty of her relationship are called into question; and Silvia, who finds consolation in the face of pain. It is a production by Delirium Teatro and Auditorio de Tenerife within Proyecto 40 Delirios, for the company's 40th anniversary. Recommended for ages 14 and over. This 12:00 performance closes the three announced dates.
