Historia de un jabalí o Algo de Ricardo
A play that revolves around the machinations of contemporary power and proposes a reflection on the limits of human ambition.
An actor faces the challenge of playing Richard III, the ruthless monarch of William Shakespeare’s tragedy. Having played supporting roles all his life, he believes he deserves this opportunity. However, he believes the rest of the cast is not up to his standard and is displeased by anything the director proposes. During the construction of the character, the affinities between the actor and the English monarch begin to unfold. Both are ambitious and intelligent. Like Richard III, John is not satisfied with little, he craves power and is unwilling to waste his time with bland, hypersensitive, mediocre actors. As their life stories entwine, the relationship between actor, character and spectator becomes ever closer.
Historia de un jabalí o Algo de Ricardo revolves around the contemporary machinations of power, desire and resentment, and proposes a reflection on the limits of human ambition.
