“Philosophy of the world”: emotional speeches

Luis Luque selects 21 of these micro-essays to compose a work on the experiences and conflicts of this ordinary man, this man crossed by common questions who, as the German artist said, Loup Vostellare the ones that change our lives. The play therefore presents itself as an intense reading lesson in which each of the actors and actresses limits themselves to reproducing the text. This means that the piece is marked by strong discursiveness and a wide thematic range. The light, seeking to seduce the viewer (pay attention to the lighting and the play of colors),world philosophy‘ describes one or more paths to make life an interior garden, to build, as happens in the exhibition itself, this garden which is a cosmos, a rest, a connection, a healing and a true vision of the world.

However, the formula adopted by Luis Luqué There comes a point where it crashes and disables itself, which becomes repetitive, even rhetorical. There is of course a story of feelings which gives coherence to all the fragments, but the theatrical spectacle suffers because it remains too strict, too little dynamic, to the point that we are always on the verge of seeing Gomá’s text devour the simple theatrical montage.

We appreciate the humor that runs through the work from start to finish, its anti-solemn character, the work on the character and the emotions that the performers transmit to us, the fact of seeking a philosophy that goes down to the daily debates that take place in the hearts and lives of people and making theater a moral weapon to understand our trials. “World philosophy” has its limits, but also its successes and its memorable moments, among which the ambition to give us a handful of ideas to overcome this pessimism which was the pathology of 20th century art.
