Parks, bars, offices, cemeteries: non-conventional spaces to stage and watch a play. This will be the case on this year’s FIBA. The piece Boyscout, written, directed and performed by Dennis Smith will be staged on Monday 7 in two evening shows in Plaza Sicilia (surrounded by Libertador Sarmiento, Berro and Casares avenues, facing the space previously occupied by the zoo and next to the Japanese Gardens). Los abrazos huecos (The hollow embraces) by the same writer and performer, will take place in the Starbucks branch located next to Teatro Gran Rex (Av. Corrientes 857) on Wednesday 29 and Thursday 30 in the evening.
The ‘Dennis Smith Trilogy’ will be completed in another surprising setting: the offices of mail company Oca located in the corner of Corrientes and 9 de Julio (facing the obelisc). The show taking place in that location will be Negra, on Saturday 25 and Sunday 26, in the evening. And, last but not least, this magical and mysterious theatre tour of Buenos Aires will stop by Chacarita, where on Friday 24, Saturday 25, Sunday 26, Tuesday 28, Wednesday 29 and Thursday 30 there will be performances of ‘Una obra más real que la del mundo’, a promenade piece set against the modernist architecture that Itala Fulvia Villa created for this historical cemetery of Buenos Aires.
