These days, theaters in Miami and New York will host two plays by actor and theater director Alejandro Milian. The first, Crystal Women, could be classified as a scenic or dramatic poem that arises from the collection of some poems later published under the title, Poems and a Crystal Woman, the author told OnCuba.
Coming to the stage his life has become -or she-has invented to survive, completely abandon the character she plays, has become his obsession. The fact is that it gets under the skin and sometimes suffocates her. Like her past. She can not deny it, but could not leave it behind. And Alejandro has dared to play this woman, but wanted to make it with three actresses who finally could not travel to New York.
It has been difficult, he admits, “when interpreting what I had written I realized the poetic magnitude enclosed in this character full of anxieties and frustrated joys. It is true that directing is difficult, but writing the play, act and direct you yourself is too much already ” Alejandro Milian confessed.
The premiere will be the next day and on the seventh in New York and then will be presented on fourth and fifth of January in Miami.
Moreover, My misery was written at the request of the actors Jorge Luis Curbelo and Sofia Elizarde for Microtheatre , until recently members of the Mephisto Theatre Company . They offered a title (to eat you better), and duration: fifteen minutes. Alejandro chose not to go with this premise and wrote a work from another perspective. Then grew a staging where two human beings of different ages, live and eat themselves with voices, words, ideas. The sunrise comes with continuous questions that become wrapped in fights occasionally, why be together and who really love who or what.
“These two characters together could make a tragedy of more than fifteen minutes, but only asked for that, and it is difficult to raise a two page story and resolve the conflict and develop characters.”
My misery will be in theatres from December 19 until January 19, 2014 in Miami.
