Virtual reading club on “Man Up”, by Andrea Jiménez and Noemí Rodríguez


The National Dramatic Center and the Instituto Cervantes Library Network have organized in this month of May a virtual club for reading the work Man up which will feature the participation of Andrea Jiménez and Noemi Fernández, authors of the testo, playwrights, stage directors and founders of the company Theater in Vilo.

We invite you to participate in this virtual club aimed at social reading and the online debate that will have these operating dates:

– Duration of the reading: May 1 to 29

– Online reading period: May 1 to 13

– Reading activity: May 14 to 29

– Meeting with the authors (chat): May 28

– Completion: May 29

The show could be seen in the Francisco Nieva Hall of the Valle-Inclán Theater in Madrid from December 11, 2019 to January 12, 2020. The directors of Teatro En Vilo set themselves the challenge of unmasking the traditional account of masculinity and its referents through irony, irreverence and absurd humor.

At a time when traditional masculine codes have become obsolete and new ones are yet to be elaborated, Man Up wants to be a space from which to question cultural assumptions about what it means to be a man and a place from which to imagine new ways of be.
