A WORD FROM THE DIRECTOR

The play Blood of the Red Rooster is inspired by Márquez’s works. It is characterized by magical realism in its narrative style, which is very inspiring for the stage setting, the visual character of the play and the interpretation of the characters.

On the other hand, the thematic framework is determined by the psychological thriller genre, in which we follow the story of the protagonist Laura, her coming to terms with a dark past, and the conflict between love and duty. This raises the question of what is right and what justice means in an individual’s life during turbulent political times.

The stylized stage movement creates an intimate world of the main character. Through her eyes, the viewer experiences the struggle to persevere in the fight for personal integrity in a corrupt environment, where everyone conceals the sins of the past that led them to profit or simply allowed them to survive.

In the intimate chamber atmosphere, cramped space and the double flow of time dictated by the fragmentary dramaturgy of the textual template, we wanted to tell the story of little people, antiheroes and characters we meet every day on the street, who, in dangerous political circumstances, fight for lofty goals.
