Fan of Lady Windermere, version by Ramón Paso
Lady Windermere fan it’s Oscar Wilde’s most tantalizing and outrageous comedy; a mocking critique of false morality, puritanism, and political correctness, unfolding through a tangle of Mephistopheles family where no one is who they thought they were. This time it is presented at Teatro Lara in a free version by Ramón Paso – updating Wilde’s essence without losing its flavor – with a modern and daring production by the same company that already seduced him with A Importância de Ser Ernesto. Summer temptation. Don’t let them tell you.
There’s a fan who is Margaret Windermere… although it could also be Molly Erlynne. And there’s a husband who belongs to Margaret Windermere… although, interestingly, it could also belong to Molly Erlynne. Lady Windermere is a prude, and Miss. Erlynne… let’s just say she isn’t, although maybe in the end they both are… which neither of them expected. The truth is that appearances should not be trusted, because they are always adorably deceiving. (LARA THEATER).
Ramón Paso re-enters Oscar Wilde’s theatrical universe with Lady Windermere fan, a loose adaptation of one of the most recognized pieces of the English playwright’s legacy. Although, Paso knows how to maintain the original essence, where this criticism of society emerges, marked by the public image and the masks that are caused by this obsession with honor and dignity.. Even so, one of the strongest points of the work is the handling of the comedy, which arouses an infinity of laughter in the audience, showing that it easily connects with the audience. Therefore, it is impregnated with a very fresh sensibility, without forgetting the dramaturgy acumen that knows where to lead to keep attention at all times.
The way the characters narrate allows their backgrounds and archetypes to be understood without going too deep. A) Yes, they manage to give more rhythm to the action, but without losing an ounce of consistency and internal coherence. We should also applaud that the acts have been respected, abbreviating and summarizing them in some cases, but being an effective formula to bring a more classical type of theater closer to spectators of different ages. In other words, there is an accessibility that, without losing the magnificence of the word, is also not happy with this musicality. In addition, as a detail, certain brushstrokes of popular culture and everyday language are seen, which give these points of modernity to the show. Lastly, mention the elegant and moving opening statement about the figure of Oscar Wilde, as well as the feminist claim that there is in some dialogues.

Plus, she does it in an absolutely natural way, which makes it a delight to see her on stage. The same thing happens with Angela Peirat, who offers a very careful work, in detail, where that apparent seductive personality is mixed, but where there is also a subtle emotion. Likewise, Jordi Millán is exquisitethrowing himself on the scene in a stupendous mood.
On the other hand, Guillermo López-Acosta is driven by a well-formed lightness, without a sweetener that could have taken its toll. Thanks to that, there is that point of tenderness that makes him sympathize with her character. A balanced and well-built performance. Later, Eduard Alejandre arrives with a very special luminosity, which is his greatest strength. However, it is still difficult for him to more fully enter into that mischievous spirit expected of his character and he remains in a less organic limbo. On the other hand, Mila Villalba has great moments in the play, despite being a less noticeable role in the set. But there are scenes in which less exaggeration is claimed, within the bizarre, which is not always an easy challenge. Lastly, Mireia Zalve perfectly sustains her character, achieving a superb performance.

There is a certain imbalance between the different members of the work when putting the choreography into practice. Even so, as an artistic element, it is an interesting proposal. So, the small anachronisms are already part of the company’s brand, being a nod to the current culture. A way to confront the two universes without one taking away the importance of the other.
The setting takes the audience to these spaces of British high society, with a structure that takes advantage of the different spatial layers., allowing to give importance both to what is seen in the foreground and to what remains in a more insightful second.
