The adjective masterful in the title is not gratuitous, as it refers to the masterful text that José Sanchis Sinisterra premiered in 1980 at the Sitges Theater Festival, to the masterclass on theater and its different manifestations that Ñaque or lice and actors entails, and to the masterful interpretation performed by Javier Godino and Joan Martínez Vidal on the Tantarantana stage, in this new version directed by Daniela de Vecchi and José Sanchis Sinisterra.
The Tardor Sanchis, which expands from the Sala Beckett to other theaters in the city and also to La Abadía in Madrid, is giving the public true pieces of theatrical goldsmithing by the Valencian author, worthy heir of Beckett and Pinter.
In Ñaque or lice and actors, the characters of Ríos and Solano, transcripts of Vladimir and Estragón but located in the Spanish golden age, do not wait for Godot but do seek to understand how theater works and repeating the same thing every day function.
Interpelling the audience present there, this ñaque, this traveling theater company composed of two actors, two comedians of the league, according to the definition of the RAE, will try to leave their artistic mark by entertaining the respectable, to, finally, last beyond life, despite the precariousness in which they live and which Sanchis Sinisterra denounces with his fine humor.
