Como lo ha señalado repetidamente la crítica, esta comedia trata acerca de la fuerza transformadora que tiene el amor en la vida humana. Esto se inscribe dentro de la visión neoplatónica que concibe que el amor es el principio que anima el universo entero y establece un vinculo que crea la armonia entre todas las cosas. Se pone en escena el poder que tiene tal sentimiento para cambiar al ser humano y ayudarlo a mejorar. Paralelamente, al tiempo que el amor eleva el espiritu y lleva a la contemplacion de la belleza divina a partir de la belleza humana, tambien es cierto que no se puede prescindir de la sensualidad.

Escrita a mediados de los cincuenta, la época más fructífera de Emilio Carballido, esta obra teatral relata la historia de una familia unida, a partir de la vida de dos de sus miembros: dos tías solteronas y la relacion que mantienen con uno de los jovenes del pueblo donde viven. Comedia de equivocos es, al mismo tiempo que entretenida, una protesta en contra del machismo, el provincianismo y las costumbres de la clase media mexicana. "El dramaturgo -decia el- debe descubrir los mecanismos sociales y las causas profundas, tanto psicologicas como los diversos determinantes que tiene el ser humano, y encontrar su sentido y relacion de los valores generales." Del tambien novelista, critico literario y cuentista, Sabina Berman escribio: "rara fue una obra suya que no tuviera exito y rara tambien una linea de texto suyo que no provocara precisamente lo que Carballido habia querido lograr en el espectador."

Una pareja de amantes con metas y pensamientos totalmente diferentes, excepto por el interés mutuo en la figura de El centauro del norte, se plantean continuar con su relación tal cual la han llevado hasta este momento o formalizar para que uno de ellos sienta cierta estabilidad. En el medio de este contexto aparece la figura de Villa como la voz de la conciencia de Adrian, misma que intentara guiarlo con el pensamiento machista del siglo XIX y que se desconcertara por como en el siglo XXI se manejan las relaciones afectivas y el empoderamiento femenino.

Wallenstein, Volume Two The Piccolomini marks the dramatic turning point in Friedrich Schillers Wallenstein trilogy. Written in 1799, it follows Wallensteins Camp and delves into the psychological and political tensions that drive the empires most powerful general toward rebellion. Whereas the first volume presented the broad social landscape of war, The Piccolomini narrows the focus to the intricate interplay of ambition, loyalty, and deception among the leaders of the imperial army.The central conflict revolves around Albrecht von Wallenstein, commander of the imperial forces, who begins to waver between allegiance to the Emperor and his own growing desire for autonomy. Schiller portrays him as a deeply complex figure visionary yet indecisive, proud yet tormented by doubt. Around him gathers a circle of allies and enemies whose motives are as ambiguous as his own. Among these figures, Octavio Piccolomini emerges as the embodiment of loyal service to the Emperor, while his son Max Piccolomini becomes a tragic intermediary, torn between filial obedience and his love for Wallensteins daughter, Thekla.The Piccolomini is structured as a political and moral chess game. Through scenes of diplomatic intrigue and intimate dialogue, Schiller explores the slow unraveling of trust. Wallensteins officers hesitate, his subordinates question his loyalty, and imperial spies close in. The plays tension derives not from open conflict but from the silent erosion of faith the moment when ideals collapse under the weight of ambition and fear.At its heart, The Piccolomini is a study of divided loyalties. Maxs inner struggle mirrors that of his commander: both men seek integrity in a world ruled by deceit. His tragic love for Thekla humanizes the plays political drama, giving it an emotional depth that balances its intellectual rigor.Through this volume, Schiller deepens his meditation on freedom, moral responsibility, and destiny. He shows how Wallensteins greatness and downfall stem from the same source his belief that he can command both history and fate. The Piccolomini thus serves as the moral and emotional bridge between the panoramic realism of Wallensteins Camp and the tragic culmination of Wallensteins Death, combining historical grandeur with profound psychological insight.

Wallenstein, Volume One marks the beginning of Friedrich Schillers monumental dramatic trilogy about ambition, loyalty, and betrayal during the Thirty Years War. Written between 1798 and 1799, the trilogy comprising Wallensteins Camp, The Piccolomini, and Wallensteins Death explores the rise and tragic downfall of the imperial general Albrecht von Wallenstein, a historical figure whose pursuit of power leads him into fatal conflict with the very empire he once served.Volume One, Wallensteins Camp, serves as a vivid prologue to the main drama. Rather than focusing on the general himself, Schiller depicts the life and atmosphere within his army encampment. Through a mosaic of voicessoldiers, peasants, officers, and camp followers the play captures the social and moral disarray of a Europe consumed by war. The rough humor, greed, and cynicism of the camp stand in stark contrast to the ideals of honor and loyalty that are soon to be tested in the main action. This first volume paints a broad tableau of wars corruption and the breakdown of unity within the imperial forces.Behind the seemingly chaotic scenes of military life, Schiller introduces the central theme that will dominate the later volumes: the tension between personal ambition and political duty. Wallenstein, though not yet on stage, is already present as a looming figureadmired, feared, and suspected. The camps gossip and rumors reveal the complex web of alliances and betrayals surrounding him, setting the stage for the psychological and moral conflicts that will define the trilogy.Friedrich Schiller (17591805), one of Germanys greatest dramatists and philosophers, combined historical realism with profound ethical inquiry. Alongside Johann Wolfgang von Goethe , he shaped the ideals of Weimar Classicism. In Wallenstein, Schiller transforms a historical episode into a meditation on freedom, destiny, and the moral costs of political power. Volume One establishes this world with a sweeping sense of realism and prepares the reader for the tragic grandeur that unfolds in the later parts of the trilogy.

Que catedral é essa?A gótica, que se ergue para alcançar o infinito e incute o medo, ou o temor de Deus, do invisível sempre presente e ausente, no vai e vem dialético da vida-morte, morte-vida...A barroca, cheia de luzes douradas, anjinhos, imagens, capelas cheias de vida cintilante, onde a morte se esconde atras dos panos, atras dos altares, atras dos misterios da vida e da morte, esconde-se Lucifer!...A moderna, transparente, janelas claras, raios do sol, onde nada se esconde e nada e escondido, vida aberta e morte aberta.A Catedral de Paulo Sergio e tudo isso: a Gotica, a Barroca, a Moderna, na sua infinita vai e vem de medo e alegria, de noite e dia, de vida e morte... Dois movimentos como verso e anverso, como realidade vista no seu espelho.E essa a obra de Paulo Sergio.Que Deus o abençoe por ter escrito essa Peça.Petrus Maria Vlasman(Frei Guido)
