All My Sons
2018
ÁLVARO VIGUERA
The performance itself: how to find a neat, organic and profound performance. Arthur Miller with this work undoubtedly lays the foundation for realistic theater or American social drama. For me it has been a challenge to face this work in an uncommon way and different from how I had worked realism before. The actors know that my proposal intensifies the search for new forms of acting representation. We are talking about a play that was written in 1947, whose themes are still current, but that has a dramatic structure that does not match with the times of now, with the reading of the narration. The great challenge has been how to give an organic air to this structure, with a performance that the public can feel closeness.
Joe Keller is a successful businessman, with no more apparent remorse than the disappearance of Larry, one of his two sons, during World War II. On a quiet Sunday, the arrival of Ann, Larry’s old girlfriend, will make the Keller family re-encounter the past, opening wounds that they thought surpassed. All my sons is a story about guilt, the search for justice and what we are willing to do and hide to protect those we love.
