Albert Boadella will collaborate with the French author Bernard-Henri Lévy in the representation of a play against nationalisms and populisms
Albert Boadellawill climb back to the stage. He will be featuring in the work “Looking for Europe”, written and directed by the controversial French author Bernard-Henri Lévy.
It will be a version adapted for Boadella in which it will be charged against nationalisms and populisms. Next Tuesday, Boadella and Lévy will appear at a press conference in the company of the new president of the Catalan Civil Society, Josep Ramon Bosch, to present the show.
Actually, Lévy will do in March and April a tour of twenty cities of the continent to stage Looking for Europe, of which the famous writer, philosopher and French activist is the author and also the only actor. It is a one and a half hour monologue focused on populisms, but adapted to the particulars of the city where the representation is taking place.
Boadella to collaborate with Lévy
The novelty is that Boadella will intervene when the piece is scheduled for Barcelona. And on this occasion, it will deal about Catalan nationalism. Boadella will not uncover until next week how his collaboration with Lévy will be developed.
The Baleña Group announced a unique representation of Looking for Europeat the Teatro Coliseum in Barcelona on March 25. It was not specified if the intervention of Boadella will take place in this function or in another that is also scheduled in the city.
In the original work, Lévy personally interprets an intellectual who, isolated in a hotel room in Sarajevo, has an hour and a half to write a speech about Europe. It refers to nationalism, racism and anti-Semitism. However, each function will be different because it will be adapted to the reality of the country where it is represented.
In January of last year, the actor and theater director Albert Boadella was publicly presented as president in exile of the imaginary Tabarnia, the Catalan territory where, in the elections of the past 21-D, constitutionalist parties prevailed. To paraphrase Josep Tarradellas, Boadella broadcasted a video from his exile in Madrid in which he began saying "Citizens of Tabarnia, I'm not here."
In that video, Boadella charged against "the usurpers of feelings, money, institutions, clubs and flags who have made this territory unbreathable."
