Aviles, May 25, 2023. Globalization makes us players in a planetary basketball game without even knowing it. That is the metaphor on which it is built “RUN [Jamás caer vivos]”the last play by the Canarian playwright Jose Padilla, which the next Friday May 26 at 8:00 p.m. It will take place on the tables of the Niemeyer Center Auditorium. With a first-class cast, made up of Pablo Béjar, Zaira Montes, Almudena Puyo, Silvia de Pé, Lucía Trentini and David Castillo, this production by the La Zona Teatro company is a story, in general, about the future of the world.

With multiple characters that move the viewer from comedy to the most tragic bite through narrative and humor, this creation delves into the colossal contradictions and human miseries to which an unstoppable force such as globalization leads. As a common thread, a basketball game, which on October 7, 2019 pitted the Los Angeles Lakers against the Brooklyn Nets in Shanghai, the heart of China. This party would end in a diplomatic conflict of planetary proportions whose most critical phase would end up involving the highest levels of the Chinese and American governments, acquiring overtones of the Cold War years.
