La Vida es Sueño - Final Day

20/06/09

Today, everything went all right. I think it was the best day, we didn´t make any mistakes. I am very happy because at last I could do the whole play without making any mistakes. All the rehearsals helped me a lot with my lines and I managed to do a perfect performance on Saturday as well as my partners. After the performance we had very good comments of the play. First they told me about the acting, they said that it was amazing how I was on the tower with the chains making my character suffer. I told them that those chains were real and I had a lot of pain. This real pain helped me a lot because I was feeling what Segismundo was feeling and so I could performed this role in a realistic way.

Children also congratulate me. They told me that it was a fantastic play and I was surprised because I thought that this was a play for older people: adolescents and adults. Kids did understand the play.

Before going to sleep I was a little sad because we did a big process and it was all over. I was pleased with the three performances but I think that I could have done it better. I´ve also learned that the production process is very difficult and it takes a long time. If I had the chance to change something of the play I would say to be back on April and have a better plan about the production. Plan with more time the scenery, the costumes, have more rehearsals and not leaving everything to the last moment.
