Greenland

Greenland

The coming and going of a family, its memories and ghosts at the top of a glass tower. The father: a disappeared person. The mother: an oppressor. Melina and Luca, blood siblings, immersed in exile. The degree zero, the inevitability of fractals. A generation reaches the 21st century in the midst of emptiness. Greenland reveals a contemporary tragedy among incests and Shakespearean quotations. Having been awarded the National Drama Award 2005 and considered as one of the best theater shows of that year in Montevideo, Greenland was staged in New York in November 2008 by the company LaMicro Theater.

Gabriel Peveroni was born in Montevideo in 1969. As a novelist, poet and playwright he has participated in several festivals and literary congresses in Uruguay, Argentina, Colombia and Spain. He has published the novels "La cura" , "El exilio según Nicolás" and "Tobogán blanco" , which share an urban and realistic narrative pulse, being the three of them set in the capital city of Uruguay . Some of his short-stories have been published in anthologies prepared by the Spanish publishing houses, Lengua de Trapo and Páginas de Espuma. He has staged and published in Montevideo the theater plays "Sarajevo esquina Montevideo" , "El hueco" , "Groenlandia" , "Luna roja" , "Berlín" and "Exterminio" , all of them directed by María Dodera. He was awarded, among other distinctions, the National Drama Award 2005 for the play “Groenlandia" , which was staged in New York by the company LaMicro Theater in 2009. He plans to stage the play “Shanghai” in 2011, having the economic support of Iberescena for this project. As a poet, he became known for writing the books of poems "Princesa deseada" , "Poemas religiosos" and "El bordado eterno" , returning to poetry with the publication of "mc Morphine" , a poetic monologue to be staged in 2011 by the actor Martín Castro, under the direction of Gustavo Bianchi.


"The brilliant theatrical intuition of Gabriel Peveroni , one of the most innovative and outstanding narrators and playwrights at the present time, makes these characters speak and evolve within a new, coherent and stunning narrative structure.
Actions and dialogues define emptiness as the stage for a content that is difficult to convey through well-known expressionist schemes. That is why the author, extremely aware not only of the possibilities but also of the imperious need for a new narrative language in this dramatic production, makes use of dialogues, monologues and implicit reflections of characters in the midst of voices and intertextual elements that supplement and give temperature and action to the space-time continuum of a frozen Greenland. Luca and Melina are, each one of them separately and together, Romeo turned into prince Hamlet: craziness also implies awareness of betrayal. Pseudo-craziness is the Hamletian emblem of an adolescence in process of resolution, of the establishment of an ever elusive identity".
