CON TODO RESPETO, UN OASIS MUSICAL

- Emir García Meralla

Andy Gamboa is a young Costa Rican actor, the creator of a show that, beyond its beautiful production and brilliant performanc­e, is an act of exorcism and an allegation of defense of an alternativ­e masculinit­y. This monologue is born from the discomfort of memory, because of a tortuous relationsh­ip and violence with the father that the actor needs to process amid mixed feelings, because with the misunderst­anding or beating also inflicted against his mother or younger brother who is not there anymore, the artist recalls beautiful gestures of his father between one drunkennes­s and the next one, the act of bringing him a small gift pet, or of lining the school notebooks, always done by the father with care and affection, which made his notebooks the most beautiful of the school.

Andy creates “Memoria de Pichón” (Pichón's Memory) by reconstruc­ting the atmosphere of a relationsh­ip with the other, sharing the songs he liked to hear, putting on his clothes and assuming his gestures, his grinning laugh and powerful energy, sometimes sloppy and sometimes tender. His is a mixture of a biographic­al drama, theater testimony and self-referentia­l exploratio­n.

If you remember Harrison Ford, playing Han Solo, the Millennium Falcon pilot in the movie “Star Wars,” you should know that he did it at ease, because his passion is precisely that: to fly an aircraft, even at a science fiction film. Even more, in five of his films, he has been the real pilot in action.

After acting as such in fiction films, he decided to receive training to become, at 53 years of age, a real-life pilot. Today, at 77, he shows his love for flights with a private collection of private jets, light aircraft and helicopter­s: a decent way to show your passion for airplanes.

Harrison Ford loves to ride the skies.
