Tesla/Edison
The theatre festival Muestra Escénica Iberoamericana (MEI) has programmed Tesla/Edison, the last proposal that the company from the Canary Islands Ángulo Producciones will stage in Tegueste.
It was written by the brothers QY Bazo, and adopted by the company after it won the ‘Jesús Domínguez’ prize. This work has a great documentary and cultural value. It is focused on the lives of both geniuses who, despite living science and technology in a very different manner, achieved historic advances that we still enjoy today.
It is the contrast between two very different models. It deals with science, but also with the people behind it, how they live their conflicts and complex lives where they focus on progress beyond personal issues. The producer believes that this story deserves to be told to young people and adults. It implies scientific and cultural dissemination since in the writing process great care was taken with the documentation. It is very faithful to the past of these great figures, thus it will be a journey through time as accurate as possible to that time. All of it is within the theatrical imaginary that allows artistic education to enrich the work.
This is a project that invites to get immersed during a historic moment for science. We need to become aware of the responsibility and sacrifice that such professions require, to realize how important others are for our lives. We often don't have enough time to stop and think about it.
