In September, the city of Barcelona will have a new theater space. This is the Heartbreak Hotel room, as La Vanguardia announced in February, promoted by Irene Vicente and Àlex Rigola. It is a small room, 150 m2, with capacity for 72 people, located in the Olivereta square in the Badal neighborhood (Sants), now under construction, which takes the name of the Vicente y Rigola company.
If they chose an old ship from the fifties, it was to represent increasingly minimalist shows and where the public is very close. “The main particularity will be the proximity between spectators and artists, which allows an interpretive work similar to the cinematographic close-up”, announce those responsible, who are looking for “an acting work of excellence”.
On September 12, the Heartbreak Hotel room will raise the curtain with the version of Hedda Gabler by Henrik Ibsen that Rigola premiered at the Lliure, with Nausicaa BonnÃn as the protagonist. On October 30, L’home de theater, by Thomas Bernhard, with Andreu Benito and Àlex Fons will arrive. In February it will be the time of Who is me. Pasolini, with Gonzalo Cunill, and at the end of March Luna plena, by Aki Shimazaki, will be released, with Andreu Benito, Lluïsa Castell, Miranda Gas and Pep Munné.
After these works directed by Rigola, in July, within the Grec, will arrive Six hectares of olive trees, written and directed by Aina Tur, with Anna Alarcón and Nao Albet.
