José Antonio Alba, from Godot Magazine, talks to Andrea Jiménez about ‘Casting Lear’ days before its premiere at the José Luis Alonso theater.
Guillem Alba's magnetism and Andrea Jimenez's provocation meet in this visceral theatrical experiment that combnes performance, humor and gesture.
Guillem Albà faces his worst fears in an intentional leap into the unknown and the unpredictable. A desperate attempt to let go of control, to get out of the comfort zone and to confront the unbearable evidence of death. And that is why he puts himself in the hands of Andrea Jiménez, one of the most irreverent and interesting creators of the Spanish performing arts scene.
A production of the company GUILLEM ALBÀ and the GREC Festival of Barcelona.

"It is theater, no doubt about it, but theater in the flesh. The swords and words really hurt, they are not props. Andrea Jiménez risks death in every performance and the actor on duty may not come out much better off."
EL PAÍS - Nuria Labari
"Lear" turns La Abadía upside down: a new actor every night: Andrea Jiménez breaks with the norm to direct the show live and through the earpiece; the performers (Miguel del Arco, Alberto San Juan, Andrés Lima...) will put themselves for the first and last time in the shoes of the Shakespearian king".
La Razón
"The playwright explores the boundaries between autofiction and classical theater to the last consequences in her new project."
