 INDUOTEATRO
INDUOTEATRO PRODUCTIONS born in late 2009 of the encounter three theater
professionals Andaluz, José Manuel Sánchez “Andreu”, director of scene (producer)
who has in his curriculum more than thirty theatrical directed spectacles. Pilar
Jiménez, actress and set designer, co-founder with Andreu of the companies
“Amaranta Teatro” and “D’accion Merx”, which for 15 years developed the theatrical
labor in multitude of andalusian scenes obtaining the consideration of company
revelation at the end of the 90s, and Chico Garcia, actor and licentiate in dramatic art
for the High School of Dramatic Art of Malaga. From the foundation has established
clearly his principal objective inside the theatrical activity attending to the most
important and essential aspect of any representation: the interpretation of the actors in
the theatre of text. His shows range from comedy to drama of the great classics.
INDUOTEATRO PRODUCTIONS has come to consolidate within the Spanish theater
sector in just a few years, as a theater company specializing in Greco-Roman Theatre
and Spanish classical theater, with a unique style and distinctive theatrical language in
continuing research. This exponential growth in their productions is due to the
development of a corporate structure seated on two pillars, the management
apparatus whose business ethics pursues theatrical consolidation as a cultural product
adaptable and responsive to social and economic reality around us, and artistic
department is firmly committed to bring to the stage where THEATRE productions
poses to the viewer a cultural experience that reflects in the interest of this by
approaching again to the theatrical. A sample of this business growth is participation
in the last two editions in the INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL OF CLASSICAL THEATRE
OF MERIDA, with its shows, MEDEA (2011) and FEDRA (2012) as well as an
increase in the number of performances by different national Roman theaters. Also in
2013 INDUOTEATRO PRODUCTIONS has been invited by INTERNATIONAL
THEATRE INSTITUTE (ITI) to participate in the 17th INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL OF
ANCIENT GREEK DRAMA of Cyprus, thus beginning a new business career in the
export of the Spanish theater beyond our country. In this business development
INDUOTEATRO PRODUCTIONS has carried out in August 2013 and 2014 the
production, management and direction of the CLASSIC THEATRE FESTIVAL OF
ESTEPONA and the FESTIVAL THEATRE OF BENALMADENA.
Through these years of work INDUOTEATRO PRODUCTIONS has taken to
scene eight spectacles, TENORIO’S SHADOW (december 2009) by Jose Luis Alonso
de Santos, interpreted by Chico Garcia and where the critique has emphasized his
interpretive work. At the beginning of 2011 INDUOTEATRO release MEDEA of
Euripides under the direction of Andreu and with Pilar Jimenez to the front as
protagonist. In this new spectacle the company submerges in the mythical classic
tragedy of Euripides, to take to scene an assembly where classic tragedy and
flamenco join in a scenic perfect balance between both kinds. It is also in March 2011,
and coinciding with the world day of the Theatre, when INDUOTEATRO releases his
third spectacle I.OEDIPUS, contemporary tragedy based on the myth of Oedipus, with
Chico Garcia’s original texts from the works of Sophocles and Seneca, and led by
Chico Garcia and Pilar Jimenez. At 2012 INDUOTEATRO PRODUCTIONS produces
HIPPOLYTUS for the 16th European Greco-Roman Theatre Festival of Mérida and
INDUOTEATRO
PHAEDRA, premieres at the 58th International Festival of Classical Theatre, the
roman theater of Regina. Andreu is the director and the actors, again, Chico Garcia
and Pilar Jiménez. For 2013 INDUOTEATRO PRODUCTIONS has settled a score to
settle with the Spanish Classical Theatre of the Golden Age, with its new production
NO TEASING WITH CALDERON a show created from the comedy "No teasing with
love" and mummery "Visions of Death "by Calderon de la Barca.
At 2014 INDUOTEATRO PRODUCTIONS has released two new shows, the
comedy “ARS AMANDY” where Chico García returns to appear as a soloist actor
following the technique of “jongleur” to bring the public the play of the great universal
poet, OVID. And the espectacle “PROMETHEUS”, the most risky production and
provocative for the time being. Again included at the 60th International Festival of
Classical Theatre, the roman theater of Regina.
By 2015 two productions of INDUOTEATRO have been selected and invited to
participate in two international festivals, thereby demonstrating that the international
market has been able to see in these productions the risky work of updating the
classics, to demystify classical heroes, and bring them closer to the spectator of the
XXI century without losing the essence that made these works immortals. In 2015
INDUOTEATRO PRODUCTIONS has been invited by the INTERNATIONAL
THEATRE INSTITUTE (ITI) to participate in the 19th INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL OF
ANCIENT GREEK DRAMA of Cyprus, to represent PHAEDRA under the title of the
original Greek HIPPOLYTUS. Also in this year has been included in the programming
of the 61 INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL OF CLASSICAL THEATRE OF MERIDA, the
comedy ARS AMANDI. The play was performed on the night of August 7, to more than
a thousand spectators in the secondary venue of the festival in the Roman Theatre in
Regina.
Over the summer 2015, after being selected the tragedy in flamenco MEDEA, for
inclusion in the network of Romans theaters Andalusia, he was represented in the
Roman Theatre in Malaga during the days July 24, 25 and 26 with great critical
acclaim and spectators.
CLYTEMNESTRA
THE TRAGEDY OF A GREEK QUEEN
Certainly the Queen of Mycenae, Clytemnestra, is one of the most attractive and
enigmatic characters of Greek mythology. In a hypothetical judgment, face a
insensible audience and unwilling to believe his words, Clytemnestra is shelling his life
until the critical moment of the murder of her husband, Agamemnon.
Here the show begins, It is taking shape around the figure of this singular character,
tortured by memories, and in no case repentant of his acts. Orestes, her son,
denounced him to the authorities for her to be tried and convicted, although history has
condemned it for centuries.
But the stories, do not always tell the truth, any narration, any tale, hide the true story.
Clytemnestra was not murdered by his son, as we have been led to believe the
mythological legends and literatura. She was denounced and judged. She Exiled
consume their days locked in a prison remembering his life. The real tragedy of this
Greek queen, is the fact that nobody has dared to tell her story. The story of a woman
who, tired of faithfully serve the desires of a man, decided to change the course of his
life and become the sole owner of its destiny.
The circumstances have forced her to make decisions in a matter of state when
women were forbidden to comment on the politics of a government. She has occupied
the place of Honour who had the Greek heroes for governing the empire of her
husband. The man she killed. But she has no regrets, it is too late for repentance.
Now, is not the same submissive woman who obeys the orders of a man, even when it
comes to sacrifice their children.
Now, Clytemnestra, return to tell us about his story... of his life. Even if it must be
judged forever.
After the death of Agamemnon, Clytemnestra governs in Mycenae. This woman,
educated to politics and philosophy, she wants to establish a libertarian government
based on the individual's right about himself, against the dictatorship imposed by
Agamemnon. The return of Orestes and his intention to head the government of
Mycenae to return to lead the people to the previous dictatorship, would lead clashes
between the followers of Agamemnon and Aegisthus which turned into a civil war.
Only the becoming aware of the reality lived in Mycenae during the exile of Orestes,
could cause him to change its ideology and accept the new liberal winds that they
made their way in Greece.
With the decline of the Mycenaean era and the end of palatial period, Greece begin to
direct their destiny toward a democratic government in which the people would be
involved in decisions of state. But for this still have to spend some centuries. These
conflicts and the period of confusion in the city-state, has made us to look at the
moments of bewilderment that live at the start of any postwar period.
CLYTEMNESTRA
Since the declaration of Clytemnestra takes place once the governments have been
overthrown, we would be at a time of social tension awaiting sentencing.
Every war brings a stage of depression and economic crisis affecting all social strata
and which carries a kind of a slave freedom.
Neorealism emerges in Italy as a response to repression that is subjected art under
the governments of dictatorships. Both his aesthetics and the ideology of its creators
portray perfectly the dark period that is Greece to the decline and fall of the
Mycenaean culture and the end of the palatial period. Clytemnestra, Agamemnon and
Orestes belong to a society in decline which has lost all his privileges. Each of them
represents perfectly the different levels that culminate the top of the social pyramid.
The militaristic repression represented by Agamemnon; the situation of the woman
fighting for their freedom and rights in the character of Clytemnestra; the confusion
that young people are subjected to the radical repression depicting Orestesas a
product of the new bourgeoisie, debated on stage to acquit their consciences. All are
innocent and all are guilty. Guilty of his own egoism as survivors of an era. Even poor
Orestes, more concerned to clear his conscience of guilt, which act altruistically by his
countrymen.
But under all that political struggle for the power, under all that game appearances,
under all that patina of age, are only the miseries of human beings who have not
doubted for an instant to destroy, devastate and murder cruelly, to secure a second of
happiness.

THE PRESS SAYS
... Heard from the beginning stage to Clytemnestra, baring his soul as if his own
judgment were, not in vain placing actors is perfectly orchestrated to look like a
defender, a prosecutor and us who listen to their statements, there are two
values that have wanted to convey through the story of Agamemnon's wife.
One of them is the consideration of women, even their actions, they are more
accurate or not, at the same level as men. Something that is very impressive to
check in the toughest scenes of mother and child where men say, all you have
inside but in the case of Orestes, that grudge is linked to the very idea of
feminine weakness (...) the evolution of his own thinking it keeps only what he
knows and is interesting to see from these stone seats jury, when all the points of
view of the facts are known.
And another important point is the political context from which occurs the whole
story. Among the arguments that Orestes reproaches her mother, Clytemnestra,
is the one who can not live in a world without order or a leader to make decisions
for others. And his mother, a woman also which I think is important, is trying to
open your eyes to a different reality ...
For me, this is the most important of "Clytemnestra, a woman". There are parts
that I would have obviated I understand to be included to change the rhythm of
declamation and site change in the scenery and also the need for Agamemnon
appears as a ghost from the past returns with a very light-colored clothing, the
government proposal he wants to defend. But the speech of Clytemnestra and
Orestes dealing with is so loud and clear, everything else left over me.
Natalia Eseverri
LA PRENSA HA DICHO
... We see a woman who has suffered humiliation and rape, which has had to
survive by becoming tougher, stronger, acorazándose after a shell explodes
resentment. But he swears that he has done everything for the sake of their
children. And this is what the rod does not assimilate. Should we save? A crime
is a crime. This version has the good idea of background, and this makes the
dialectical confrontation between the actors is the exciting part of the show ...
... What traps us is to see that person who wants to be understood by someone
who loves but sticking into a wall ....
... Chico Garcia has qualities to spare to catch the audience from the stage with
conviction ...
... A representation with a staging and attractive concept ...
Paco Hinestrosa ... At about 10 pm, when the day turns off the lights of the scene came on, and
Clytemnestra and her son Orestes, gave the reasons why the classical Greek
texts, myths eternal culture, work as well as good adaptations like this are made.
Which breaks with the units of space and time launching a highly topical
message about the tyrannies that prevail in the world and its consequences in
people who suffer ...
... Magnificent performances of the actors, and the public itself, we were
spectators and actors at a time of the work, which the protagonists are constantly
directed to justify their actions in court to the story ...
…The indoor bowling Carrizo, became an hour in a large theatrical stage on
which appeared catharsis. For a moment we all feel close to this woman who
was defending herself while all women of mankind; that son needed to know the
truth about his life; and Agamemnon, her husband, who like all dictators, history
will judge him. That's the magic of good theater, when you could hear the silence
of the public to listen to a difficult text and perfectly declaimed by actors. An
interpretation up to the theater and set design and costumes timeless solved very
successfully.
