Description
“One Hundred Years of Solitude” is a renowned story of magical realism by Nobel laureate in literature Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Since it was released 40 years ago, the novel’s surreal and fantastical ideas have inspired artists and writers around the world.
The story depicts Iguaran, whose spirit still haunts her house long after she died. Her spirit is everywhere, standing by every descendant, witnessing their ups and downs from cradle to grave until the last member of the family is eaten by ants while the city disappears. She recalls fragments from her memory: the fear of bearing a baby with a pig’s tail, her exile for escaping from a dead man’s spirit, the eldest son’s homecoming blood, the second son’s revolution, the 17 illegitimate children, the unwelcome gypsy with devil-like devices, the mud-eating girl, the sleepless villagers who lost their memories and her own daughter’s curse on the family. Before she vanishes with these memories, she confesses that all seven generations have inherited the same eyes as their ancestors, showing immense solitude.
Through devising theatre, director Andrew Chan and the actors will stretch their theatrical creativity to the limit – as Marquez does in words – to portray this fable of solitude in the author’s enchanting storytelling style.
