SHAKESPEARE FROM A GALICIAN POINT OF VIEW



This morning Bac students from our school attended a theatre play by Galician theatre group Mofa e Befa with an English based topic: Shakespeare.
They break into an academic conference on the famous author to bring to surface the most overlooked scenes, maybe out of laziness or lack of opportunities, for contemporary audiences. The most cruel laughter, the most shameful intimacies, the most dishonest acts and the most cunning villainy is shown by the Mofa e Befa's ruthless comic machine. Murderers, judges, clowns, informers, racists, opportunists, pimps, torturers, all the characters who never have the spotlight, now have the sort of front-page display. And all of it in Galician.
