The actor is taken over by a voice.
Seré is a survival manual.
An escape guide.
Based on the testimony given by Guillermo Fernández in 1985 during the Juntas Trial about his kidnapping and escape from the clandestine detention center called Mansión Seré, an actor will embody him.
I WILL BE is a poetic and aesthetic intervention on the testimony given by Guillermo Fernández in the so-called Trial of the Juntas held in Argentina in 1985, where crimes against humanity and systematic violations of human rights by the Civic-Military Dictatorship were condemned. It is not the complete testimony; a dramaturgy was crafted around the discourse. The text is also intervened by other texts, noises, and sounds, such as the actor’s voice, which are not part of the original trial audio. The remarkable thing is that Guillermo, along with three other fellow captives, managed to escape using only a metal nail. And with their actions, they freed the rest. The escape from Mansión Seré is an iconic case. At the same time, Seré is also the future tense of the verb "to be” in Spanish. The possibility of "being" in the future. I WELL BE is also a study of sound and voice. As well as the Word itself, the materialization of the word. It’s a simulation, a mock-up but also a magic trick. The fundamental concept running through the play is ventriloquism—but reversed. In this case, the puppet is the actor. The only actor on stage Will lip-sync the voice of the witness (Guillermo Fernández). This state of "being spoken for" or "possession" will create an unsettling effect on the audience, who, although warned that it is not the actor speaking, Will often believe it is.
