Raunchy Christmas Cards

"The Mayor of Zalamea"

Photo: Poster of representation


The last weekend of August we were in a town in the province of Badajoz, in the region La Serena, where each year is "The Mayor of Zalamea", by Calderón de la Barca and has been adapted by Francisco Brines, in a much more "performable" and has been declared of Regional Tourist Interest .
The work is represented in the square of this people for most residents, including children, who spend many hours of their time trials, with the latter-day until the wee hours of the morning. The women of the neighborhood association sew all the costumes, and we're talking about 600 people, said soon. Photo: Part of the stage

The capacity, I estimate that may be about two thousand people and at the end are very few seats that have been released. The principle function is spectacular because they start out almost all the neighbors to act and suddenly seems to forget the time when you live and move several years ago. It becomes a hive of people, vendors, monks, children playing, etc.. all we can imagine that had a population of that time. Here begins the story and in many cases appear professional actors, one can see the hours of rehearsal. Photo: Wheat was

When the work reaches the end, after almost two hours, the applause did not cease, and people stand up and praise the good work of these neighbors who, through their efforts have ensured that his people actually know and not believe exists only in fiction of the work.
Now, after the declaration of interest are launched the machinery of SGAE, (formerly just ignored him) seeking to recover about 14,000 euros by the representations of all these years. We pay ten euros for adults and five children. If we assume that there was about two thousand people and that of these, 500 could be kids, I get (and if I'm wrong someone correct me) a collection of about 17,500 euros, from 600 characters I get to just under thirty euros . Given that three days of performances, a person who is rehearsing for almost a year, receives about 100 euros total, less than one euro a day of work. Of this miserable amount of money, SGAE wants to charge a fee, as always, are debatable, but eye to comment! because this company, then takes you to court and not I who will stand for it. I only expose the facts and now you can review them. Photo: thirds of Flanders.

Anyway, I think it would be a terrible injustice, but in any case I advise you who may not be missed.
I made many pictures but you only get some but nowhere to go under "just in case."
