A new breath in romantic comedy
The Beckett Room, known for its daring and complex proposals, houses a work that challenges expectations: ‘L3 Fontana’. Unlike the usual productions, which are often entered on deeper and more puzzling themes, this work signed by Roser Vilajosana, who also acts, is presented as a more conventional romantic comedy, with a commercial approach that seeks to connect with the public.
Break and emotional reflection
The plot revolves around Nina and Sergi’s relationship, exploring the pain of a rupture and the process of overcoming it. Although the premise may seem familiar, the author brings an innovative turn to focus on the perspective of the protagonist, giving the narrative of a new dimension.
A contemporary heel
With references to genre classics such as ‘(500) days together’, Vilajosana is distinguished by presenting a portrait of the woman who moves away from typical representations. His vision allows doll, with his chaotic nature and his inclination to altruism, to be the engine of history, facing his own contradictions and the pain of separation.
Characters and dynamics
The interaction between Nina and Sergi complicates when the protagonist decides to help a homeless woman, an act that causes a conflict between the two. This secondary character, although it does not develop as much as you could expect, serves as a catalyst for the emotions of the protagonists, revealing their insecurities and their evolution.
Prominent interpretations
Roser Vilajosana shines in his role, providing a unique energy that captures the attention of the public. His ability to convey the emotional turbulence of doll is indisputable. Beside him, Artur Busquets brings a solidity to his character, while Patricia Bargalló, in the role of the homeless woman, shows potential, but his plot is in the background.
Set design and symbolism
The stage proposal of Yaiza Ares plays a fundamental role, with a design that reflects the emotional state of the protagonist. The flat, with a style that combines classic and modern elements, is transformed into a reflection of the internal chaos of doll, with movements that symbolize their internal struggle during the rupture.
A new voice in comedy
With ‘L3 Fontana’, Roser Vilajosana adds to the list of emerging authors who seek to redefine the genre of romantic comedy. Its ability to address topics of human relationships with a fresh and contemporary approach promises to open new avenues in Catalan theater. His work, despite his weaknesses, represents an important step towards a richer and more diverse representation in the theatrical scene.
