José Luis García-Pérez

In contemporary Warsaw, Blanca hears the legend of the cartographer of the ghetto. An old cartographer bent,
while everything died around him, to draw the map of that world in danger; But since he could not go out and look
for the necessary date, his granddaughter came out for him. Blanca takes for truth the legend and launches to
the search of the old map and, without knowing it, the search of itself. "The cartographer" is a work on that
search and that legend, written by Juan Mayorga, who also directs it. It will be in the Slaughterhouses until
February 26 starring Blanca Portillo and José Luis García-Pérez, two monumental actors who alone give life to
12 characters.
"Is it a complex work?"
-The texts of Mayorga always point very high and I think this is one of his most complete works. I would say that
it is complex from within, but not for the public, to which it arrives in a clear and resounding way with all its
complexity.
- It must be strenuous to play nine characters
"I like this kind of theater of physical effort. For me it is the emotional part harder That drags the function. As we
enjoy it from beginning to end, it is worth esta suffering.
"What is the cartographer?"
"It is not a cartographic vision of Warsaw, it goes further. The map That the characters are looking for Is That of
Their own lives. There are two temporary plans, the Warsaw ghetto and the present one, They look for a human
map That breaks the dictatorship of the present That invites not to look back, but any present is composed of
1/3

2. Thousands of past That can not be forgotten. There is no present healthy if it is not cured of the past.
"Where are we taking him?"
"Inside each of our cell layers and shapes us as a present. Under we step on every tile there is a joy, to pain, to
birth, to death ... maybe a lie to discover.
"Should we have learned the lesson from the past?"
"We Should Have Learned it, but no matter how much it is Said, we never do. This work right now and Could
Happen whos is happening in the Mediterranean.
"Seeing the refugee camps, did Europe learn the lesson of the Holocaust?"
"Obviously not." Europe did not know how to defend the Jews and now it is falling into the same error. The hard
thing is that when we talk about this we find it easy to always do it in third person and Europe is us. The Jews
we turned on were the European as you and me. Now our neighbors are the needy.
"Looking for the map is looking for yourself?"
-Each one has to make his map and, like the cartographer, decide what we left inside and what was. Mark in it
the places united to our emotions. I am not taking pictures because I think the memories are more valuable. The
photo will never give me the emotion of memory, the emotional experience does not appear in it, but if we turn
our back on the past, that experience will not appear either.
- Does the work take sides or invite reflection?
-It does not propose solutions, it asks questions that invite reflection. Our philosophical view of the theater is that
it does not serve to throw out blatant proclamations, but for the message to remain in the intellect.
-This involves the viewer.
-Requires an active attitude, as Mayorga says. His theater does not seek to please, it moves to think, to reflect
and in this written function for twelve personages that we make two actors. It is essential the imagination and the
emotional and intellectual action of the spectator. As one more actor. The final intention is to enter your soul.
-What does this mean for an actor?
"It makes you think and grow." In addition to great pleasure, it is an opportunity for growth in every way and
professionally makes me feel proud.
"And be led by the author?"
-As well. For me, Mayorga is a better contemporary author and the director is very porous. He has left the author
at home and here he has come as director.
"His chemistry with Blanca is obvious.
"I'm missing words to define the size of an actress Blanca. We had a great time together. He directed me and
We had Talked about it, We Said That the next one would be staring at us on the stage.
