This play and monologue embodies one of the key figures to understand the twentieth century, Albert Einstein.It recreates one  a crucial moment in this world famous scientist´s life.The moment  when he learned that the atomic bomb, that he had helped create, had been used for military purposes in the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.The play  interpretes that in this moment of anxiety,took refuge in his flat and tried to reconnect with his long lost daughter through a recorded message.
In one instance of introspection Eisnten would relate the evolution and extinction of the dodo bird until bringing the fate that occured to parallel scenarios of mankind´s abuse of power and lack of longstanding vision that encompasses everyone. The play is magical and riveting,with the interpretation of Ricardo Joven who also wrote the play.This play ends on the 1st of July at the Teatro de Espada de Madera which will also be closing due to financial reasons.The theatre itself is unique and curious,so go check out the play and theatre in one last gesture of support for arts and culture in its darkest moment in the city.The theatre is located at Calle Calvario 21 near metro Tirso de Molina.See this article here about the Einstein and the Dodo at Espada de Madera Theatre…the article appears in both Spanish and English.
