Last week, we went to see a play named "Pedro de Valdivia" which had certain amount of comedy, musical and historical context. The theatre presentation gives information about Valdivia´s life when he came to America around the time when it was recently discovered and being conquered by Spain.
In this play, there were many characters and only three which were encharged of representing them.
The three main characters were Pedro Valdivia and two other guys. One of them only represented second rank commandants while the thhird guy used to represent natives or Incas. They changed of characters when music started playing and the actors started singing. But the actors were always doing the same style of characters but different people. Story happened in a very dynamic way. They not only did spoke dynamic, their actions and changes of scenes were very fast. One thing I really like was the way did never stopped doing actions. They were or doing faces, movements or walking. But they werent stand up only talking.
Actors had to form the play by not only actions, they had also to sing what was happening on and at the same time to concentrate and play different instruments. They had a good knowledge of them. I think this made the play more entusiasmic.
The props used were instruments, soil, table and a puppet representing Pedro.
They showed good creativity (which is essential for plays) when they transform some soil into a map which contained, mountains, land and sea. It was very funny when they represented Pedro de Valdivia on a puppet because all the characters had to organize themself to provide sounds and movements the same as the pedro de valdivia actor. Most of the play needed a lot of coordination.
In my opinion, the accent wasnt very clear. For me they didnt spoke like chilean people. I´m not sure why. I think that was the only thing wrond i found. But in conclusion I really enjoyed the play because of coordination and creativity. But, my question is... ¿How came they were able to find so many actions and why did they decided to use a lot of actions and do not concentrate in the context?

Very few and superficial reflections. You need a deeper analysis in order to be able to get to interesting questions and conclusions.
