GUNS
El Almacén, Uruguay
[recommended for ages 15 and up ]
»What effect does the so-called fear of the foreign have on a neighbourhood? El Almacén explores the abyss of a human microcosm with a clever text and an unusual set.« — The Curators
Something suspicious happens. People in the neighbourhood want more security: Cameras, arms, common sense. The rest will be taken care of by the police. And the press. The other as a threat. The constant struggle of our bourgeois desire for peace and quiet at home. »GUNS« does not propose an answer but offers a disturbing look in the mirror that unmasks our »micro fascisms«.
The theatre El Almacén is an independent community-managed space for creative processes beyond institutional structures and government funding. Their theatrical work is defined by the constant search for the meaning of theatre itself and a shared premise that overrides everything else: Doing theatre with friends.
