• W324347346 abstract "Guillem Clua is a name known in the United States mainly to audiences at the four regional theatres that have staged his second play, Skin in Flames (La pell en flames), in recent years. Although he is one of the most promising voices in a new generation of Catalan playwrights born in the seventies, he was still considered marginal in his native Barcelona until the critically-acclaimed production of Marburg at the Teatre Nacional de Catalunya (TNC) in May 2010. [Photo 1] Marburg is a play that breaks with precedents, and its staging, under the capable direction of Rafel Duran, ranks among the finest at TNC since its inauguration in 1996. Barcelona critics were almost unanimous in their praise, but it was perhaps the British playwright Martin Sherman who wrote the most compelling evaluation of the work in an introduction to the published version at the time of the premiere: His job is to probe, to investigate and to illuminate the hidden viruses that are devastating the blood stream of the dynamic and dynamite-lad en twenty-first century. Guillem Clua does this with verbal and dramatic fluency, style and ambition-do not discount the scope and daring of his ambition!-and it marks him as one of the great emerging dramatist of this brave and frightening new world. (Sherman 12-13). With a degree in journalism from the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona in hand, Clua began to prepare himself for a career in theatre in 1994 at London Guildhall University. When he returned to Barcelona, he then attended playwriting seminars at the influential alternative theatre, the Sala Beckett, working in close contact with several other young playwrights who would soon begin to transform the Catalan stage with new visions, styles, and concepts. At the same time, he was writing extensively for local periodicals. In 2002, he collaborated on a stage adaptation of Thomas Mann's Death in Venice, which combined theatrical elements and choreography, and it was staged successfully at the fringe theatre Sala Muntaner. The same year his first totally original work, The Invisible (Invisibles), won the Ciuitat d' Alcoi Prize for new plays and was subsequently published. But this chilling, dramatically challenging treatment of varied characters caught in a web of urban malaise has yet to be professionally staged. In this play the invisible characters perceived at first to be dead, mingle with the living and prove to be more closely related than imagined in the early scenes. All of the six actors in the cast remain on stage throughout as scenes meld with other scenes, overlapping, interrelating, and creating an engrossing theatrical tapestry in the process. With its overlapping dialogue, it's multiple and sometimes simultaneous scenes the play establishes an aesthetic that Clua would later employ with even greater skill. In 2004 the playwright won the Ciutat d'Alcoi Prize for a second time with Skin in Flames. This play is set in a third-world country to which a famous photographer returns to accept an award for an iconic photograph he had made of a small girl enveloped in flames. He is interviewed and threatened by a reporter who may or may not be the same girl, now an adult. In the hotel room where they meet a second drama also plays out in a close but different time frame. It is a depiction of a powerful man's deceit and abuse of a woman hoping for medical treatment that will save her child's life. The play had its premiere in June 2005 at the Villarroel Theatre in Barcelona in a production directed by Carme Portaceli. The director took some questionable liberties with the text, and the play attracted only limited critical attention. In March 2006, HotCity Theatre Company in St. Louis gave Skin in Flames its first production in the United States, and new stagings quickly followed in Salt Lake City, Chicago, and Philadelphia. [Photo 2] Clua's next play, Taste of Ashes (Gust de Cendra), remains unperformed except for two staged readings, the last at the Spanish Repertory Theatre in New York in December 2006. …" @default.
