Today dawned timidly. The light filters through the window of this cafe where we have met the playwright Nani de Julián Madrid . The chairs are still perfectly placed after the night's rest. Piles of clean cups are prepared for the customers who will arrive. Along with our cups the award-winning 'The Whale's Stomach' and one of his previous works 'The Edge of the Butterflies' in a new Mexican edition make up a beautiful and dreamlike order on the table. On one side a solid metal bar. On the opposite side a large glass window that separates us from passersby.
The artificial light tries to impose itself on the sun that is gaining strength. We CXB Directory like the other characters in the scene mark our “own territory.” We have come to talk about written theater. The rest of the characters are just whispers until we finish this conversation. Some words that may seem recent but that have the trace of time in each comma and in which there was not even coffee. The entire set was made of words.
We began this interview vaguely inspired by that “butterfly edge” with which Nani de Julián won the II Contest of Theatrical Texts “Cuenca a Escena” one of the many awards that accompany this playwright considered one of the great emerging voices of the Spanish theater and that in just two weeks he will take to the stage to teach the workshop Characters that build the rd Cuenca by Scene Stage Training Days.
