In October 1998, Matthew Shepard, a gay student of 20, was brutally beaten on the outskirts of Laramie in Wyoming. He died shortly afterwards in hospital. The Laramie Project, a work that is now on tour in Spain, arises when the author, Moses Kaufman, aspires to learn more about why Shepard was murdered. Hence the idea, quite successful, to make this work a work that fuses the world of theater and film in the theater.
Members of Tectonic Theater Project, Campania Kaufman and his partner Jeffrey LaHoste, traveled to Laramie and interviewed the local people. From these conversations wrote the work that has been seen by over 50 million people in the U.S. since 99.
One of the most represented in the U.S., The Laramie Project was first introduced in Spain under the direction Julián Fuentes Reta, an address not easy for his staging laborious and difficult directing actors, comedians who play only eight to seventy characters. Nothing less.
Some more successful than others, the uneven cast includes Ana Cerdeiriña, Monica Dorta, Iñaki Guevara, Antonio Mulero-Carrasco, Jorge Muriel, Diego Santos, Consuelo Trujillo and Victoria Dal Vera.
And with its ups and downs, the work, perhaps a little excessive in duration, just shaking. And while we finish a bit confused and dizzy with so many characters, the Laramie Project is decent and current questions. And just so worth it.
