Jaume remarks in all honesty: \u201cTo me they all look the same.\u201d A little later he will admit: \u201cWe don\u2019t know anything about these people.\u201d
Nothing is certain anymore. And above all, it is no longer safe to take to the streets here as a European. But escape is also impossible because the airport is closed. And no one can seem to say when it will reopen. “We have to wait. All we can do is wait.\u201d They are trapped. The hotel management warns them that they shouldn’t even open the windows in their rooms. And so Jaume and Laura and \u00c0lex and Eva are sitting in a hotel, seemingly protected from the outside world, where they just happen to be staying next to each other in rooms 301 and 302. That is the situation. But only it’s outer shell.
Because the playwright Mir\u00f3 i Coromina creates a second world inside his drama, an almost inextricable web that plunges these two couples into an abyss of lies, hurt, vanities, sexual desires and mutual betrayal. \u201cEverything is so uncertain,\u201d someone says at some point in a brief moment of clairvoyant helplessness. And indeed: everything is uncertain in this exciting drama by Mir\u00f3 i Coromina. How can his heroes escape? And to whom? The threatening exterior of the foreign insurgents or the threatening interior of their love relationships and their feelings?
Josep Maria Mir\u00f3 i Coromina was born in Barcelona in 1977. The Catalan author and director became known in the theaters and at international theater festivals in Europe primarily through his play The Archimedes’ Principle, which was created in 2009, but only three years later, in July 2012, in cooperation with the Sala Beckett in Barcelona in his own Director premiered.
After Anatol by Arthur Schnitzler and Das K\u00e4thchen von Heilbronn by Heinrich von Kleist, the young Dutch director Bram Jansen is staging a contemporary play in Rauch as a German-Dutch collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
