ANA KARENINA/ ANNA KARENINA

Ana Karenina es una dama casada, respetada y perteneciente a la alta sociedad Rusa. Durante una visita a Moscú conoce al conde Vronsky, ambos comienzan un romance que tendrán que defender ante las normas sociales de la Rusia del siglo XIX. Arquímedes Rivero interpreta al conde Vronsky. Sin embargo, su marcado acento caribeño resta credibilidad a su personaje, que contrasta con el acento neutro de sus compañeros. Con equivocaciones de los actores durante algunos diálogos, que posteriormente son corregidos, se aprecia su falta de concentración. Enfatizar demasiado en llantos y sollozos los personajes pueden lucir sobreactuados. La ambientación y música de fondo son acordes permitiendo la recreación de la epoca. M.B.M.

[ENGLISH TRANSLATION]--Ana Karenina is a married woman, respected and belonging to high Russian society. During a visit to Moscow, she meets Count Vronsky, and they begin a romance that must be defended within the social norms of nineteenth-century Russia. Arquímedes Rivero plays the Count, and, without a doubt, his Caribbean accent detracts from the credibility of his character since all the other personalities of the drama speak in a neutral Spanish. After hearing errors committed by the actors during some dialogues, and later corrected, astute listeners can tell that some speakers were not concentrating. With the excesses of weeping and sobbing, we might accuse some characters of overacting. Background sounds and music help recreate the epoch and the location.
