Delirios unfolds as a work intensely stratified in its themes, languages and references. In a minimalist and claustrophobic stage space, the complexities of characters entangled in memories, desires and unresolved conflicts are revealed. Enrique, Freddy, María Julia (Mama) and Roberto make up a universe of tense relationships, intertwined by love, resentment and memory, where the past is as present as it is inescapable.
The proposal uses theatre within theatre as a narrative and conceptual tool. María Julia, with her evocations of works and her constant dramatization of reality, transforms each encounter into an authentic performance. Textual fragments and songs, distorted by the characters’ memories, reinforce the fragmented and dreamlike character of the work, dialoguing with theatrical tradition and Cuban culture.
The staging raises fundamental questions: How much of what we are is defined by what we choose to forget? To what extent is our freedom conditioned by memory and emotional constraints? Enrique, always on the verge of escape, steps back before the enigmatic door that symbolizes, in a double sense, both the possibility of change and the impossibility of crossing into the unknown. Thus, Delirios stands as a stark portrait of the human condition, a delicate balance between the longing for liberation and the weight of past conditions.
