Javier Continente, known as Jomi Oligor, and Shaday Larios are the creators and performers of the object theater proposal “The Melancholy of the Tourist” which can be appreciated at Gaztambide Theater next Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
This the proposal is an intimate journey for only 46 people each session. Spectators enter a tent where they experience a small-scale scene of things that flicker in and out of existence: lights and shadows, analog images, fragile mechanisms, paper and tin miniatures.
A delicate little 90-minute theater-cinema, which is a game of reverie, whose poetic inventiveness is transposed to Time when all our toys were alive.

THE tourist melancholy It is a decomposition of moments and objects through which the idea of a paradise is fixed in the imagination. It was born from fieldwork in certain vacation spots from which vestiges were recovered that speak of the rise and fall of this mental fantasy. How many seconds does it take to create and lose a paradise?
THE tourist melancholy It is a gallery of mirages of what remains behind the intensity of a sublimated landscape which no longer exists or which has never existed, of a body which fades in time and which only resuscitates through memory residue. This is why it is a questioning of the life of the images which are produced in our idea of rest.
But the melancholy It is also a suspensive state of mind which accompanies the exception, an active force which leads us towards the desire to reinvent ourselves and to reinvent ourselves in these periods when an inertia of things fractures.
