The theatre festival Muestra Escénica Iberoamericana (MEI) has programmed the première of La buena vecindad (The good neighbourhood) by Delirium Teatro. A comedy by Antonio Tabares at the theatre Auditorio Capitol, Tacoronte.

Manolo and Carmen’s peaceful and monotonous life is shaken by the arrival of some particularly noisy new tenants in their building. The couple is overwhelmed by the situation and feels unable to make a decision. They come up with a thousand formulas, each one crazier than the last, to get rid of their undesirable neighbours. They thus achieve the longed-awaited peace of mind they had always wanted for their old age. Apart from exposing through comedy the difficulties of daily coexistence, ‘La buena vecindad’ reflects the alibis, self-deceptions, and justifications we cling to on a daily basis to avoid facing an uncomfortable and implacable reality.
