Róbinson Díaz stars in the play Mucho animal, at the Teatro Libre – Art and Theater – Culture

The idea is to make you laugh a lot. And that is ‘lots of animals’. Róbinson Díaz and Alberto Barrero, ‘Pucheros’, take the stage at the Teatro Libre de Chapinero to count various amatory forms of animals.

“As humans, we are not going to be able to discover many of these forms of love and we are actors, not scientists, so in our scene, which is theater, we want people to have fun discovering other ways,” he says. Robinson Diaz.

He says that his thesis was about the creation and construction of the character through the animals “and it stayed with me for a long time. One day I told Pavel Nowicki (Polish, theater and television director) and he told me to do something.

Pucheros’ began an investigation that lasted five or six months, and Mucho animal came out, with its absurdity and its fantasy”, he continues.

For Díaz, it was also very important to analyze the movements of the animals and to that he paid special attention. “We have evolution,” he adds, but the species bring their rituals, forms of subsistence that have traveled through history.

And he goes to shows like The Lion King, which he saw in Spain, with a great scenic load, with actors representing different species and giving each one its closest expression from the human.

For ‘Much anima’ they analyzed several behaviors. “There are things that leave one terrified. A bow tie puts those who want to conquer it to make a kind of nest to court it. They all have to turn around and in the end she decides which one she gets.”

And it tells how the male firefly attracts the female with its light, but also with a gift, a kind of bag of nutrients. The squid, which they also talk about in the play, have various styles.

“The goal is to give people ideas to laugh at. This is not scientific, nor political, but something that occurred to us, a disparate and in art everything is nonsense, because the rest is reality, very strong and very overwhelming. We think that fantasy continues to be one of the most beautiful terrains for everyone,” he says.

This is not scientific or political, but something that occurred to us, nonsense and in art everything is nonsense, because the rest is reality, very strong and very overwhelming

And that, precisely, is his scenario since his adolescence, when he formed a theater group at the Inem school in Medellín, where he studied.

“Art is my natural terrain, where I find myself and where I feel. The theater It is a strange cave where miracles happen, I cry, I suffer, I love its silence and its darkness, which is also magical. There is an ancient language there, a rite that leads to something happening in the mind, soul and body”.

Going back to face-to-face has also been fundamental. “Is pandemic It was an economic disaster for everyone, and also morally. Everything that art does is for the public and you live from it, what happened was very strong. We were in season with The Lady in Black in 2020 and we stopped on March 14 of that year. We just got back, now with this play. It’s been a long time.”

He is glad to be back on the ‘field’, at the Teatro Libre, moreover, and “crying out for life. Those who have not been vaccinated, I do not know what valid arguments they have. We are gregarious, we depend on each other, why the hell don’t I know vaccine people, if science has shown that it is better to be.

Actor for several seasons of ‘The Lord of the Skies’, as well as ‘Tiro de grace’, ‘Perfect Lies’ and ‘Neighbors’, Díaz has made a great career in the theater, from classics to avant-garde proposals.

Now he returns with his ‘Much animal’, looking for the laughter to last and for art to follow his path.
