About this event
Emilio Gutiérrez Cabá stages, in the Sala Jardiel Poncela at the Centro Cultural Fernán Gómez, an anti-war satire based on the novel by Joseph Conrad. The action transports the audience to early 19th-century Europe, caught up in the Napoleonic Wars, and shows how the personal ambitions of two hussars can fuel a conflict for twenty years. The staging offers an unconventional view of history: pride and stubbornness often prove more important than reason, and European events become a setting for human obsessions.
