Caryl Churchill, one of the most important figures in universal dramaturgy has, in Distante (Far Away), one of her biggest bursts of surrealist and visionary humour, portraying a society consumed by fear. In it, the border between truth and falsehood is blurred to the point that the reader is never given the necessary clues for assessing what in fact is the characters\u00b4 degree of conscience and intentionality. Few texts are as frighteningly current as this one, from 2000, in which the dystopic reality we are presented with actually seems so similar to our own time. Taking advantage of, precisely, the freedom of interpretation the text offers the reader, the show intends to explore the tenuous borders between the binomials good and bad, correct and incorrect, true or false, and thereby instigate a reflection on the control of the Oher through Fear, and on the intrusion of Power on that which are each one\u00b4s individual liberties, one of which we gave up, more readily than we imagined.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
