The
COMPAÑÍA CLÁSICA DE COMEDIAS (Classical Company of
Comedies) can be considered an evolution of the Spanish company ATROTE
TEATRO, which has more than 15 years of experience to back it up. Since
its formation in 1990, it has become one of the best consolidated and
more veteran theater companies in the region.
Its members have completed their Thespian training in schools of Valencia,
Murcia (ESAD), Madrid -Cristina Rota, N.I.C. (Cinematography Investigation
Group), National Theater Center- and the Brigham Young University –Utah-
and University of Chicago (U.S.A.)
Some of its actors have participated in several TV shows (“Calle
Nueva”, “El Super”…) and film productions (“Buen
Viaje, Excelencia”, “Sagitario”, Isi/Disi”, “40
Grados”…) and have received a great number of awards both
in film and theater festivals.
Among their Theater Productions,
we point out:
The eager
soul of this company has brought them to set up a Medieval Religious Play
in Català, as well as producing several fiction Short Films. The
latest one, “EL FAROL”(The Bluff), performed by the GOYA (Spanish
Film Academy Awards) winner, Carlos Álvarez-Nóvoa , has
been awarded in some of the most important National Festivals and it has
been recently acquired by Canal 9 Television to be premiered on TV.
They created and organized for four years the Mostra de Teatre Jove “Dama
d´Elx” –Youth Theater Festival (1996/99) and were the
Vice- Diretors of the II Festival Off de Música y Teatro Medieval
de Elche, becoming a point of reference for many of the younger regional
companies.
Nowadays they coordinate the cultural activities at “Abi-yoyo Espacio
Infantil” –an Arts School for children- and direct, within
its facilities the first Film and Theater School for children, in the
Region .
