The director Andrés Lima, who received the Max for Best Direction with ‘Shock 1 (El Cóndor y el Puma)’, continues with ‘Shock 2 (la tormenta y la guerra)’ the surprising and complex process of theatre research based on Naomi Klein’s ‘The Shock Doctrine’. Shock 2 begins in the 1980s, with the conservative revolution led in Europe by Margaret Thatcher and in the USA by Ronald Reagan, and culminates in the first great shock of the 21st century: the war in Iraq, a war in which Spain was a participant. Because that is what Shock is about, reflecting on the extent to which each of us is a participant in our history, our shocks, our coups, our violence.
Theatre is emotion, it is rhythm, it is harmony and that is our proposal, our way of looking, of asking ourselves questions. Journalism is criticism, it is document, it is reflection, it is another way of looking, it is also a mirror like the theatre. The mixture of the two is Shock.
