Look, the song whispered to me, that day in my living room. Life can be so big.
It’s a Friday night in a campus bar in Berkeley, fall of 2000, and Percy Marks is pontificating about music again. Hall and Oates is on the jukebox, and Percy—who has no talent for music, just lots of opinions about it—can’t stop herself from overanalyzing the song, indulging what she knows to be her most annoying habit. But something is different tonight. The guy beside her at the bar, fellow student Joe Morrow, is a songwriter. And he could listen to Percy talk all night.
Joe asks Percy for feedback on one of his songs—and the results kick off a partnership that will span years, ignite new passions in them both, and crush their egos again and again. Is their collaboration worth its cost? Or is it holding Percy back from finding her own voice?
Moving from Brooklyn bars to San Francisco dance floors, Deep Cuts examines the nature of talent, obsession, belonging, and above all, our need to be heard.
"El zoo de cristal" es una declaración de intenciones. El teatro no puede ni debe ser una sucesión de diálogos y acotaciones. Una pieza dramática es la obra de arte más completa, pues en ella intervienen los más variados lenguajes. La pieza, más allá de valoraciones caducas, es un prodigio de teatro plástico. Por su parte, "Un tranvía llamado Deseo" es un clásico de la dramaturgia occidental. Como todo clásico, nunca ha tenido más vigencia que en estos momentos. Cuando Blanche le pide a su hermana Stella que no se quede atrás con las bestias y afirma que Stanley no puede ser la "solución", habla en nombre de una humanidad asediada por la brutalidad, la intolerancia, los atavismos y la mediocridad más ramplona; es decir, habla en nombre de todos nosotros.
