1985 in Sitges Look

doing archeology I found this entry in the archives of The Country (this newspaper).
The story is that he made special mention Cambaleo in the international theater festival in Sitges this year that released "Back to the Future." Cortapego (Emphasis mine):

'Abyss' Navarra Stable Theatre, gets the prize for best show in Sitges

Artur Carbonell Award for best show premiered in Sitges festival went to Abyss assembly Navarra Stable Theatre. Blanc!, With a prize, a citation and a warm applause from the audience, will, or is becoming, the winner of the 172 Festival of Sitges , and perhaps also his savior. There was also a special mention for the show Teatraco, Cambaleo group Theatre.

After the deep crisis of 1983, wanted to believe that in this new edition of 1985, the Festival of Sitges would emerge from its own ashes. Nothing has changed except for the worse. The closing ceremony and awards ceremony at midnight on Sunday was a sad parody of itself. But since that scarce public corripuesto largely invited by the usual holidaymakers each year, was tired of so much pain, it was the closing act in good humor .
Artur Carbonell Award for best show premiered at the Festival, went to Mount Pit, Stable Theatre Navarra, created and directed by José Lainez. There were also two special mentions , one for Blanc!, The Teatre Curial, and one for the show Teatraco the company of the Madrid scene Cambaleo Theatre. Cau Ferrat
Prize has been awarded to the actors and actresses Landesbührie Württembergische Esslingen Federal Republic Germany, which had Hinkeman of Ernst Toller. It also agreed both items, one for the actor Bubik István Budapest National Theatre, who presented the work Jo Sitges duc the foc, Miklós Hubay.

'Dying of the story'

The other mention of the prize went to the Cau Ferrat Theatre Studio Company in Havana that brought the Festival of Sitges a montage of the work of Abelardo Estorino, die in the story, directed by the same author. Dying of the story is a good text and a great spectacle worthy interpretado.El third and last of the awards, L'alegria que passa, was aimed exclusively at the shows presented in the street. As expected, Blanc!, The Curial Theatre, won the prize street and there was a mention for Cambaleo Theatre, Madrid, for his outstanding work as street Teatracciones, A Veroce and Treasure Hunt .
Blanc!, With a prize, a citation and a warm applause from the audience, will, or is becoming the winner of the 17 th Festival of Sitges, and perhaps also his savior. If in 1983, La Cubana, La Fura dels Baus and Antropològic Parc Albert Vidal were the findings of the Sitges Film Festival this year will be white! revelation show, surprising, charming and beautiful.
At the awards ceremony and closing of the 17 th International Theatre Festival of Sitges, did not attend any of the companies awarded , except for the Studio Theater of Havana. Yes were the extraordinary actor José María Rodero and excellent actress Ofelia Guilmain . Rodero interpreted several passages of Camus Caligula. Guilmain, Mexican-English actress had not returned to their homeland from exile in 1939, brought the poetry of Philip Leon to close the festival.

other words, the ceremony (which was worse than that of 83) attended only a few tourists guests leave very sorry to see Joseph María Rodero Caligula accompanied by Ofelia Leónfelipeando, believed that it was the festival of humor. Poor Cubans who saw it.

Thankfully you were not, guys in the company of the Madrid scene.
