Enrique Arriaga highlights "the new dimension of this third MEI edition" that kicks off on 2 September in El Sauzal
The third edition of the MEI (Iberoamerican Theatre Festival), which runs from 2 September to 6 October, has been organised by the Island Council through the Auditorio de Tenerife. Enrique Arriaga, councillor of culture, stressed that "this festival stands out for exhibiting 40 performances of 14 shows in a dozen municipalities".
According to Arriaga, "this festival clearly shows our commitment to the municipalities that we announced as part of the Cultural Strategic Plan. It distributes this high-quality stage programme throughout the island with Iberoamerican proposals that share the bill with our companies".
Alejandro Krawietz, director of culture, agrees with Arriaga on how important it is for the municipalities to receive contemporary theatre performances. Considering the current set spaces of the island, they are not easy to programme. He added that "through the performing arts, MEI is like a door that brings other cultures closer to society".
Of the eleven companies participating in this edition, three are from Chile (Niño Proletario, Silencio Blanco and Colectivo Cuerpo Sur), two from Uruguay (El Galpón and Marea Productora) and one each from Colombia (4 Paredes), Argentina (Diego Casado), Nicaragua (Teatro Justo Rufino Garay), Portugal (Hotel Europa Teatro); three are from the Canary Islands (Delirium, Ángulo Producciones and Unahoramenos).
The festival venues will be the Paraninfo de la Universidad de La Laguna and those of the municipalities of Adeje, Arona, Candelaria, El Rosario, Guía de Isora, Los Realejos, Puerto de la Cruz, Tacoronte, Tegueste, Vilaflor and El Sauzal. In the two previous editions El Sauzal hosted all shows; on this occasion it will be the setting for a dozen performances.
The programme begins on 2 September at the Teatro El Sauzal. The Uruguayan company El Galpón will offer the play "Bakunin sauna, una obra anarquista" (Bakunin sauna, an anarchist play), a show that will also be performed in Guía de Isora (5th) and in the Paraninfo (8th). The Nicaraguan company Rufino Garay will take its play "Francisca" to El Sauzal (8th), Adeje (9th), Puerto de la Cruz (11th) and Guía de Isora (12th). The Colombian company "4 paredes" will give 4 performances of their production "De ratones y hombres" (About mice and men) in El Sauzal (11th), Puerto de la Cruz (12th), Tegueste (14th) and Adeje (15th). The same company will perform "Carta de una desconocida" (Letter from a stranger) in El Rosario (16th), Garachico (18th), Adeje (19th) and Los Realejos (21st).
Argentine theatre will be represented at this year's MEI by Diego Casado's company, which will perform "La Cápsula" (The capsule) at the Paraninfo on 18 and 19 September. The Chilean company 'Niño Proletario' comes to Tenerife with their play "Nadie lee fuego mientras todo se está quemando" (Nobody reads fire while everything is burning), which will be performed in Vilaflor (23rd), El Rosario (24th) and El Sauzal (25th); the Chileans of 'Colectivo Cuerpo Sur' offer their play "Mutilados en democracia" (Mutilated in democracy) with two performances on the 1 October in Puerto de la Cruz. The Chilean company 'Silencio Blanco' will perform the play "Pescador" (Fisherman) in El Sauzal (15th) and in Puerto de la Cruz (17th and 19th).
The Portuguese company 'Hotel Europa Teatro' - made up of the Portuguese André Amalio and the Czech Teresa Havlíckova - will propose their show "Perfect Match" on 17 and 18 September at the Teatro El Sauzal. The Uruguayans 'Marea Productora Teatral' will close this edition with the play "Ana contra la muerte" (Ana against death). It can be seen in Arona (29th), El Sauzal (2nd and 3rd October) and Candelaria (6th).
The representation from the Canary Islands during this MEI festival will start with the company Delirium. It will perform the piece "La buena vecindad" (Good neighbourliness) in Tacoronte on 3 and 4 September. ‘Ángulo Producciones' will perform "Tesla/Edison" in Tegueste (19) and the company 'Unahoramenos' brings two proposals: "Moria" and "Clara y el abismo" (Clara and the abyss). The piece "Tesla/Edison" has two daily performances in El Sauzal (22nd), Arona (26th) and Vilaflor (28th), while "Clara y el abismo" can be seen on the 24th in El Sauzal.
The registration for this intensive and specialised training is now open; it takes place from the 26th to the 30th of July
The Auditorio de Tenerife, cultural space linked to the Department of Culture of Tenerife Island Council, is managed by its Director of Culture, Enrique Arriaga. From the 26-30 July, the institution offers a playwriting workshop with Gabriel Calderón, a renowned author on the Latin American theatre scene. Registration is open until 18 July for this intensive and specialised training, titled 'La última obra mala' (The last bad play).
Attendees will be using resources considered imperfect, useless procedures, unsuccessful acknowledgements of other people's procedures, plus writing in 15 hours. “Together with the existing pretensions, we they will try to recreate the last bad work of each one of us”, explains the playwright. “On the one hand, we will thus be freed to finally write that good work" proposes Calderón, who adds “at the same time - perhaps and only perhaps - we will approach what writing a play is. We will rather not do so from a knowledge point of view, accepting all that we are not, all that we do not know, and the fact that we write as a founding part of creation." 
The schedule for the first four days is from 9:00 - 2:00 pm. On Friday, the last day, the workshop finishes at 1:00 pm. This activity is recommended for professional and amateur playwrights. The proposal consists of using five sessions to generate materials of this "bad play", with which the workshop will conclude. Having written, published, self-published or staged a play, having attended workshops and courses in playwriting are facts to be considered as an asset to select the candidates.
The training takes place in the Sala Alisios of the Auditorio de Tenerife and has a general cost of €30 and €15 for students. This training is the kick-off activity of the ‘Muestra Escénica Iberoamericana’ (MEI) 2021. To register, candidates shall send an e-mail to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.ng with their basic contact details and CV evidencing the experience. All the information on this workshop is available on the website of Auditorio de Tenerife under the Training section: www.auditoriodetenerife.com .
Gabriel Calderón (Montevideo, 1982) is a playwright, actor and director. He has been active in Uruguayan theatre since 2001 when his first premiere, ‘Más vale solo’ (Better alone) was awarded Best Play. He also received a mention for best playwriting at the “11th Encuentro Teatro Joven" in Montevideo. Since then, he has written more than twenty plays that have been performed in Latin America (Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Panama, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Bolivia, Peru), Europe (Spain and France) and the United States.
Calderón premiered last April a play that he also directed called "Historia de un jabalí o algo de Ricardo" (A Wild Boar's Tale or something by Ricardo), at the Teatro de La Abadía in Madrid, a production of Temporada Alta 2020 and Grec 2020-Festival de Barcelona, considered by the Spanish newspaper 'La Vanguardia' as one of the best plays of 2020. He also made his Italian debut in May with an Italian adaptation of his text 'Ana contra la muerte' (Ana against death) at the Teatro Storchi in Modena.
Between 2006 and 2010, he was Director-General of cultural projects at the National Directorate of Culture of Uruguay’s State Government; in 2014 and 2015, he was director of the Instituto Nacional de Artes Escénicas. He is currently a coordinator of Dramaturgy at the EMAD and at the Universidad de la República.
In 2004, at the age of 21, he premièred 'Mi muñequita (la farsa)' (My little doll, the farce) one of the most influential shows in Uruguayan theatre so far in the 21st century. The play remained on the stage for three years and received the main nominations for the Florencio Awards (best national playwriting, show, cast and director). From then on, he was considered as the initiator of a significant generational renewal, both of theatrical language and of the audience.
In 2005 he received the Florencio Award for the best direction of the season for his version of 'Morir (o no)' (To die, or not) by Sergi Belbel and the Morosoli Award for his contribution to national culture in his short career. He has also won the National Literature Prize on two occasions: in 2011 for 'Mi pequeño mundo porno' (My little porno world) and in 2016 for the anthology 'Tal vez la vida sea ridícula' (which brings together the texts of his trilogy 'Uz - el pueblo, Or -tal vez la vida sea ridícula' and 'Ex -que revienten los actores', as well as a reprint of 'Mi muñequita).
He completed his training with scholarships in Spain (Fundación Carolina, 2004) and England (International Residency at the Royal Court Theatre in London, 2009). He was a member of the Lincoln Center Theatre Directors Lab (New York) and artist-in-residence at the Théâtre des Quartiers d'Ivry (Paris) between 2011 and 2013. His appearance on the local scene was influenced by a strong generational imprint and a belligerent attitude towards speeches and consolidated languages by means of tradition. His 'mature' shows keep that intense acting and vertiginous scenic rhythm that were the hallmark of the first ones. Likewise, they add a new and fundamental topic: a review of Uruguay's recent political history from a very personal perspective that includes melodrama, science fiction and humour in terms of absurdity.
On Wednesday, the 30th the Muestra Escénica Iberoamericana (MEI) is putting the last show in their programme: San Juan, by La República theatre company. Written by Max Aub, it deals with exile through a ship journey. With the support of the Department of Education, Youth, Museums, Culture and Sport of the Cabildo de Tenerife, run by councillor Concepción Rivero, the play will be performed at 8:30 pm in the Teatro El Sauzal. Tickets are at 12 euros and there are discounts available. You can book them on www.meitenerife.com.
San Juan is an allegory of exile written by Aub, a Spanish author who fled to Mexico after the Spanish Civil War. It is about the tragic journey of some Jewish people in 1938 on board the San Juan, a former animal cargo ship. They travel from country to country but are rejected at every port. Nonetheless, the hope that they will be allowed to land at some point drives them on.
Nearly all the social types are on the San Juan: rich and poor, young and old, rebels and submissive, traitors and loyal, communist Jews... A piece of society that eventually shows its ugliest side: misery, despair, ambition, resignation… The boat becomes one single character with a common fate for everyone.
With the Jews and the World War 2 as a backdrop, San Juan criticises the lack of humanity, also among the Jews, who are crowded together on the old boat. A redeeming shipwreck, therefore, death, is the longed-for freedom to escape from the tragedy.
Directed by Nacho Cabrera, the cast performing the crew includes Miguel Ángel Maciel, Efraím Martín, Toni Báez, Abián de la Cruz, Idaira Lermo, Sara Álvarez, and Saulo Valerón. The play by the Gran Canaria company was performed at Teatro Cuyas de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria on 25 and 26 September.

The Muestra Escénica Iberoamericana (MEI) is presenting four shows this week: Siete hombres buenos, a text by Juan Mayorga; ¡Valientes!, with a singular setting; Informe Lope, a premiere; and Fábula del topo, el murciélago y la musaraña, based on a true story. These options of the Department of Education, Youth, Museums, Culture and Sport of the Cabildo de Tenerife, run by councillor Concepción Rivero, will be on at 8:30 pm at the Teatro El Sauzal. Standard tickets at 12 euros and discounts are available on www.meitenerife.com.
The first show, on tomorrow, Tuesday, the 22nd is Siete hombres buenos, by 2RC Teatro. It is a text from the first play by Juan Mayorga, which was awarded Accésit Marqués de Bradomín in 1989, and is first showing now, thirty years later. It is about a government in exile for many years. Ideals have changed, past treasons return to the present, personal interests taint this government when the tyrant is overthrown and there is a chance to return.
¡Valientes! by Burka Teatro, is an apparent dramatized guided tour by an exquisite historian who is interrupted by an astonishing character, a homeless woman who is actually a fount of wisdom. They will both take the audience on an exciting, amusing journey across the stories of many women who have fought for gender equality since Antiquity. This play will be performed on Wednesday, the 23rd at MEI with a singular setting where there is no stage.
On Friday, the 25th Informe Lope will be premiered. Morfema Teatro recreates the setting of a mysterious corporation whose basements store theatre plays from all periods, including the ones by Lope de Vega. Ramírez and González, a woman and a man respectively, are the officials in charge of classifying and preparing it for “publication”. The conflict develops from the main topic it deals with, that is, the way the playwright conceived his female characters.
On Sunday, the 27th Fábula del topo, el murciélago y la musaraña, by Delirium Teatro, will tell us about the ups and downs experienced by Pedro Perdomo Pérez and his family. He was a chairperson of PSOE (Socialist Party) at the Casa del Pueblo in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria during the first days of the army uprising in 1936 after which he turned first into a target, then into a fugitive and eventually, into a topo of Franco repression. After hiding for 33 years at the house of two of his sisters and protected by an amnesty, he resurrects to the world at the beginning of the Transition. This show is part of Teatro El Sauzal programme.
MEI shows, which is organized by Auditorio de Tenerife, have two different rates: standard at 12 euros and El Sauzal residents at 9 euros. There are other non-combinable discounts available for the unemployed (50%), under 30 (30%), large families (25%) and students (10%).

The Cabildo de Tenerife, through the Department of Education, Youth, Museums, Culture and Sport, run by councillor Concepción Rivero, presents the premiere of the show Todo el cielo, by Unahoramenos Producciones, at the Muestra Escénica Iberoamericana (MEI) [Latin American Stage Showcase]. It is a dramaturgy of Canarian poems with live music that will be seen for the first time tomorrow Tuesday, the 15th at 8:30 pm in Teatro El Sauzal. Tickets, at a general price of 12 euros and with discounts now available, are on sale on www.meitenerife.com.
Many poets believe to be writing the same poem, that all of them in different languages, places and times have ventured into the blank page to add another piece to a wonderful, unfinished puzzle. That is how Todo el cielo came into being, a journey through Canarian poems from different periods and authors, selected by Yeray Rodríguez, that will come to life together, like voices in a choir to bring the song of the many into one single song.
Actors Marta Viera and Ruth Sánchez will bring these verses to life along with the music of Carlos Oramas, who is specialised in Baroque instruments. This play, directed by Mario Vega, has Nauzet Afonso as costume designer; the lighting design is by Ibán Negrín and Valentín Rodríguez is the production manager.
In the presentation of the show, it was said that “on these brief islands, for centuries we’ve pursued answers that poems have not fully given us; this makes the questions grow. Perhaps in the voice of others, that becomes more our own the more choral it is, we may find rather than the answer, the definite question. We have the whole sky to find out”.
MEI shows, which is an event organised by the Auditorio de Tenerife, offer two different rates: general, at 12 euros and for residents in El Sauzal at 9 euros. Also, other non-combinable individual discounts are available: (50%), aged under 30 (30%), large families (25%) and students (10%). A document to prove this condition must be shown on entering the theatre. (DNI, DARDE, large family card, student card...).

The company
Unahoramenos Producciones was set up in the southeast of Gran Canaria in 1999. After some years producing very successful shows, in 2014 it focuses on social-based artistic creation. Mario Vega becomes the head of creative direction and at present all their shows have to do with social issues.
Me llamo Suleimán (2015) and Los Malditos (2016), both written by Antonio Lozano, denounce the unfair and unbalanced relationship between Europe and Africa through innovative staging that are very well-received by both critics and audiences. Both shows were granted the R for recommended show from the Theatre Commission of the RED Nacional; Me llamo Suleimán got six Réplica Awards and Los Malditos have eight nominations for the XX Premios Max.
In 2018 the company started a three-year innovation and research project called Laboratorio Galdós, Ana, también a nosotros nos llevará el olvido, by Gran Canarian Irma Correa, about the social situation of women in 1960s Spain, during the dictatorship. The show got the R for recommended show from the Theatre Commission of the RED Nacional plus 3 nomination for the XXII Premios Max.
In 2019 and 2020 the Laboratorio Galdós continues with their creative innovation and research projects, encouraging citizens’ participation and attracting audiences with two other shows of marked social conscience. One of this shows is El crimen de la calle Fuencarral, which opened on Sunday, the 13th the 2020 Special MEI.
Moria is their new play on social issues, stage research and innovation down a path that brings together passion for the theatre and an obligation to denounce social injustice. Moria is a cry to Europe, a call to European citizens to become aware of the fact that our land is once again in a most atrocious situation: the death of hundreds f people through our indifference. It was meant to be premiered at MEI 2020 but it had to be postponed due to the health crisis as it is immersive theatre.
El Cabildo de Tenerife ha presentado, a través de Auditorio de Tenerife, la Edición Especial 2020 de la Muestra Escénica Iberoamericana (MEI), que tendrá lugar del 13 al 30 del presente mes de septiembre en el Teatro El Sauzal. Los detalles fueron dados a conocer hoy por la consejera de Educación, Juventud, Museos, Cultura y Deportes del Cabildo de Tenerife, Concepción Rivero; el director artístico del Auditorio de Tenerife, José Luis Rivero; y los directores de dos compañías canarias que estrenan espectáculos en el festival: Mario Vega, de Unahoramenos Producciones, y Ricardo del Castillo, de Morfema Teatro.
La consejera explicó que se trata de ocho espectáculos, que comenzarán a las 20:30 horas, siete de los cuales son producciones canarias. Rivero destacó la importancia “de apostar por compañías canarias y convertirlas en el baluarte de esta edición de MEI, donde habrá diferentes propuestas pero todas de una gran calidad que ponemos a disposición de la ciudadanía para su disfrute”. La responsable insular informó de que “las entradas, a un precio general de 12 euros y con descuentos disponibles, ya están a la venta en www.meitenerife.com”.
El director artístico de Auditorio y de MEI recordó que la programación se tuvo que trasladar de la primavera pasada a este otoño y que “hemos continuado con la voluntad de presencialidad marcada por el Cabildo que caracteriza al teatro en vivo para reformular la programación, donde hay encargos directos y estrenos de obras subvencionadas por el propio Cabildo”. “Al final, presentamos una selección de espectáculos que representan el canon del teatro canario”, añadió José Luis Rivero.
Mario Vega, director de Unahoramenos Producciones, trae a MEI El crimen de la calle Fuencarral y el estreno de Todo el cielo. Vega puso en valor esta muestra “única en Canarias, que da perspectiva sobre el teatro que se está haciendo” y comentó que el proyecto Moria de teatro inmersivo que pensaban estrenar en primavera se ha pospuesto, dando paso a Todo el cielo. “Estamos muy ilusionados y nerviosos por presentar el martes por primera vez Todo el cielo, una selección de obras de poetas y poetisas de todas las islas canarias”, adelantó Vega.
Ricardo del Castillo, director Morfema Teatro, estrena en MEI Informe Lope, un proyecto que cuenta con una subvención a producción escénica del Cabildo. Del Castillo agradeció las políticas públicas insulares que dan lugar a este tipo de actividades culturales y explicó, como autor, que estrenan “un texto sobre la obra de Lope de Vega en una línea de trabajo propia que consiste en partir de obras de autores y llegar a otros planteamientos”. “Se ha mostrado a Lope de Vega como feminista y en Informe Lope planteo, mediante un modesto acercamiento a su obra, si para explicar el feminismo hay que acudir a Lope, una voz masculina”, detalló el también dramaturgo y actor.
Esta programación, que se ha coordinado con los festivales canarios Temudas y Mueca, llega a la isla a partir de este domingo con una clara vocación local y de la mano de autores como Lluís Pascual, Juan Mayorga o Max Aub, y de textos de Federico García Lorca, Lope de Vega o Benito Pérez Galdós. Muchas de estas representaciones son estrenos o primeras funciones de compañías canarias.
La segunda edición de MEI tenía previsto desarrollarse del 17 de enero al 3 de mayo de 2020 con el Foco puesto en Argentina pero la crisis sanitaria internacional obligó a cancelar la programación de marzo, abril y mayo. Esta edición especial se ha adaptado a las circunstancias y mantiene el Romancero gitano, de la Cía. Nuria Espert, y Siete hombres buenos, de 2RC Teatro.
La programación
Abre la programación este domingo [día 13] a las 20:30 horas El crimen de la calle Fuencarral, de Unahoramenos. La historia comienza con un fuerte olor a quemado que despertó a los vecinos de la calle Fuencarral de Madrid el 2 de julio de 1888. La policía encontró un cadáver ardiendo y una criada y un perro durmiendo. Benito Pérez Galdós fue el cronista de este polémico suceso real, que acabó en ejecución pública. Ahora, el dramaturgo Fabio Rubiano ha escrito una atractiva dramatización en clave de comedia que dirige Mario Vega. Este espectáculo forma parte de la programación de Teatro El Sauzal.
El primer estreno de esta edición llegará el martes [día 15] con Todo el cielo, de Unahoramenos, una dramaturgia de poetas canarios realizada por Yeray Rodríguez y dirigida por Mario Vega. Son muchos los poetas que creen que todos escriben el mismo poema. Y así nace Todo el cielo, un viaje a lomos de poemas canarios de diferentes autores y épocas que cobrarán vida juntos, como voces de un coro que hará una sola la canción de tantos.
Termina la semana Romancero gitano protagonizado por Nuria Espert con dos funciones: el jueves 17 y viernes 18. La apuesta del director de este espectáculo, Lluís Pasqual, consiste en una depurada puesta en escena, con tan solo unas butacas de teatro aderezada. La base de la propuesta es la conferencia que dio García Lorca en 1935 con introducción y comentarios a su Romancero gitano. En escena, los poemas se intercalan con esos comentarios y los recuerdos de Nuria Espert sobre sus trabajos sobre Lorca.
La recién estrenada obra Siete hombres buenos, de 2RC Teatro, podrá disfrutarse el martes 22. Se trata de la primera obra de Juan Mayorga, premiada con el Accésit Marqués de Bradomín en 1989, que se estrena con esta compañía canaria después de treinta años. Es una ficción sobre un gobierno en el exilio de una defenestrada república después de treinta años. Los ideales han cambiado, las traiciones del pasado vuelven al presente, los intereses personales tiñen este gobierno cuando el tirano es derrocado y surge la posibilidad de volver.
Al día siguiente, miércoles 23, llegará la adaptación a sala de ¡Valientes!, un espectáculo de Burka Teatro concebido como teatro de calle que se estrena en un formato íntimo. Un itinerario por la evolución de los parques a través de la historia, guiado por una exquisita historiadora, se verá interrumpido por un personaje de la calle: una mujer sintecho que bajo esta apariencia esconde un sorprendente pozo de sabiduría. Juntas harán un viaje hacia la historia de muchas mujeres que desde la antigüedad lucharon por la igualdad de género.
El segundo estreno absoluto de esta edición tendrá lugar el viernes 25 con Informe Lope, de Morfema Teatro, que recrea el entorno de una misteriosa corporación, en cuyos sótanos se almacenan las obras teatrales de todos los tiempos. Entre ellas, las de Lope de Vega. Ramírez y González son los funcionarios encargados de clasificarla y ponerla a punto para su publicación. El conflicto se desarrolla a partir del tema central que plantea la compañía, que es la manera en que el dramaturgo concibe sus personajes femeninos.
Fábula del topo, el murciélago y la musaraña, lo nuevo de Delirium Teatro, llega a MEI el día 27. La obra de Miguel Ángel Martínez cuenta las vicisitudes que vivió junto a su familia Pedro Perdomo Pérez, vocal del PSOE en la Casa del Pueblo de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria en los primeros momentos del golpe militar de 1936, donde se convierte primero en objetivo, luego en prófugo y, finalmente, en topo de la represión franquista. Tras 33 años escondido en casa de dos de sus hermanas y amparado por una amnistía, resucita para el mundo en los albores de la Transición.
Cierra la Edición Especial 2020 San Juan, la nueva propuesta de Teatro La República, una alegoría sobre el exilio de Max Aub. Cuenta el trágico viaje de unos judíos que en 1938 se encuentran embarcados en el San Juan, un antiguo carguero de animales. En permanente peregrinación de país en país, son rechazados en todos los puertos. Aun así les mueve la esperanza de que en algún momento les den el visto bueno para desembarcar en tierra segura.
Para los espectáculos de MEI existen dos tarifas, la general de 12 euros y la de residentes de El Sauzal de 9 euros. Además, hay disponibles descuentos no acumulables para desempleados: (50%), menores de 30 años (30%), familia numerosa (25%) y estudiantes (10%).
