HERMANOS OLIGOR (Navarre) ________ Las tribulaciones de Virginia (The Tribulations of Virginia)
1h30
[ Authors and Directors: Hermanos Oligor // Performers: Pepe and Jomi Oligor // Co-production: Hermanos Oligor and International Festival of Visual Theater and of Titelles de Barcelona ]
Las tribulaciones de Virginia is a spectacle with dolls, automatons animated by pulleys and pedals, mechanical toys and machines inspired by cause-effect experiments. It is between the country fair stall and the circus. Awnings mark a circular space and inside, there are tiers where the public sits, a small track and in the background, a great machine that is transformed throughout the show. Valentín activates the different mechanisms to the rhythm of fairground music, music boxes, and tango while telling a story of love and love lost at the same time. The Oligors’ fragile theater is plucked in the light of a birthday candle, a lantern with which Valentin, in a low voice, takes you to the drawer where you had your first kiss, do you remember? A show with which you will fall in love from the first minute and which will stay in your life forever.
It was released in 2002 and since then has toured major festivals in Europe and Latin America. Given its uniqueness and excellence, this year Quiquiriquí has bet decisively on this company by showing two of its creations and a documentary film about the work itself.
