Compañía Teatro Futuro performs an artistic residency at the Complejo Teatral de Buenos Aires
with his project "La Saga Europea", made up of a group of four works set in the
nineteenth century that intend to explore the relationship between Latin America and Europe through the sieve of literature. From the theater of Shakespeare or The Divine Comedy, through Goethe, Chateaubriand, Esteban Echeverría, Sara Gallardo or Copi, La Saga Europea relies on fiction as a way of building the world.
The series is made up Las Cautivas, Las Ciencias Naturales, Las Invasiones Inglesas y Las
Traducciones.
In LAS CAUTIVAS, in the mid-nineteenth century, a gangster breaks into a wedding and kidnaps the
girlfriend, a young French woman named Celine. Already among the tribe, in full feast, Celine will be saved by an unexpected protector: an Indian named Rosalila.
The two women will escape together through the monotonous geography of the pampas. will traverse suns, rains, hunger, fights, a tiger, a monkey, two soldiers, a sick girl, several rivers. If he
origin of the theater, the Greek tragedy, it was proposed to found myths, this return to the origin of the Argentine literature proposes to rethink the national mythology, always marked by the
French positivist admiration and Latin American indigenist denial.
Thus, LAS CAUTIVAS is offered as a refoundation, as a metaphysics, as a
nature, as pure fiction and as the desire to return to a place that we have definitely lost.
