The Seven Deadly Sins

Approved

“The 7 Deadly Sins” addresses the theme of profit ambition, turning Ana into "two sisters": Ana I, the singer, the practical-spirited administrator who restrains any impulse or desire of Ana II, the dancer. They both set out on a seven-year journey through seven different cities in order to accumulate enough money to build a house for their family in Louisiana.

In each villa, her bank account is threatened by the fragile personality of Ana II, provoked by each of the deadly sins. The plot is centered on a psychologically divided woman describing the essence of Ana's femininity.

Each painting represents each of the deadly sins: laziness, pride, anger, gluttony, lust, greed and envy. In bourgeois society, sins assume a meaning opposite to what they originally had. Thus, laziness prevents ascending the social ladder, pride prevents a woman from undressing, anger drives her to oppose injustice, lust moves her to go with a man she likes instead of another who can pay her everything.

Ana I, who represents the rational "I", asks Ana II, the instinctive "I", to submit to all social laws. Having overcome all moral scruples and accepting the rules of the game imposed by bourgeois society, the two sisters get the money to build a house in Louisiana.

The general production and costumes are by Edisson Spinetti; the direction assistance, by Paola Martínez; the lighting design, by Manuel Troconis; and the repertoire, by Sadao Muraki.“The 7 Deadly Sins” addresses the theme of profit ambition, turning Ana into "two sisters": Ana I, the singer, the practical-spirited administrator who restrains any impulse or desire of Ana II, the dancer.

English

“Los 7 pecados capitales” aborda el tema de la ambición de lucro, convirtiendo a Ana en "dos hermanas": Ana I, la cantante, la administradora de espíritu práctico que refrena cualquier impulso o deseo de Ana II, la bailarina. Ambas parten a una travesía de siete años por siete ciudades distintas con el fin de acumular suficiente dinero y construir una casa para su familia en Lousiana.

En cada villa, su cuenta bancaria se ve amenazada por la frágil personalidad de Ana II, provocada por cada uno de los pecados capitales. La trama está centrada en una mujer psicológicamente dividida describiendo la esencia de la feminidad de Ana.

Cada cuadro representa a cada uno de los pecados capitales: pereza, soberbia, ira, gula, lujuria, avaricia y envidia. En la sociedad burguesa los pecados asumen un significado opuesto al que tenían originalmente. Así, la pereza impide el ascenso en la escala social, la soberbia impide a una mujer desnudarse, la ira impulsa a oponerse a la injusticia, la lujuria le mueve a ir con un hombre que le gusta en lugar de otro que puede pagarle todo.

Ana I, que representa el “yo” racional, pide a Ana II, el “yo” instintivo, que se someta a todas las leyes sociales. Vencidos todos los escrúpulos morales y aceptadas las reglas del juego impuestas por la sociedad burguesa, las dos hermanas consiguen el dinero para construir una casa en Lousiana.

La producción general y el vestuario son de Edisson Spinetti; la asistencia de dirección, de Paola Martínez; el diseño de iluminación, de Manuel Troconis; y el repertorio, de Sadao Muraki.
