"they looked at me with that what-do-you-think-you're-doing-bitch attitude"

Yesterday, we didnt go to "yuyachkani" [i know..:(], we went to diego's house and then went to Universidad San Marcos to watch one of the plays in the "4to Festival UCSUR de Teatro Internacional". We waited around an hour and killed the timeplaying charadaa and playing tiny scenes of "Nelly's guest house" [I found out that one of sandra's characters was a french maid and one of rodrigo's was a cowboy]. the ants invaded us and i discovered thta roberto is a cheater! [OMG!, the girls won anyway]. Then we entered and i wondered if the school theatre could ever be that cool.

The play was called"Dominicanish" by Ayombe from Dominican REpublic. I'n not sure if i liked it or not but i do have both comments about what i think was wrong and very very very very very very...good. First of all, I want to state what i supposed was the theme of the play. The actress, who represented more than one character and sometimes societies, expressed the struggle of countries towards foreigners. in this case, the 'need' to learn english where the native language is spanish. I compare it to the spanish colonization of america. although in dominicanish the language isn't impossed as hardly.

Likes:

• I looooved the actress' performance, she used a combination of oppositions, that as the others said, made look rolly and his moco like nothing [of course, if he is nothing we are..less than nothing], and indu dance. Her voice was strong and her steps were well syncronized. She thought every step she took. she was also, aware of the audience [disappearence of the 4th wall] and made the audience participate.
• The use of light was amazing. the actress could hide in it and it created a sort of mistery. it also focused little parts so we could direct our attention to it.

I'll add a little video of the light and her movements:

Dislikes:

• The video that they put, was unnecesary, it might have had a purpose or relation to the play but it divided the attention of the audience, and i peronally didn't know where to look.
• The lack of other actors made the play uninteresting and without the right amount of action, monotoned and very boring
• I had problems trying to follow the play, and i didnt get some words
• the use of space was unbalanced, there was like 5 square meters left alone.
• the play seem more like a monologe than a play. it didn't really have an end.

In conclusion, what really made me applaud, was the actress' performance, it was visible that she had a good control of her body, strenght and charisma when acting.

The same question revolves and revolves in my mind, is the comedy enough to entretain the audience in 'Las aceitunas'? If they cannot understand the text and just the actions..could they get bored? Itsn't it more interesting to have a combination of both context and comedy?
