Text written as part of the National Dramatic Centre’s Dramatic Residencies programme during the 2021-2022 season
Violent, rough, lacking in consideration and civility: this is the definition of “bruto” given by the Real Academia Española. And this is Nito’s world: the neighbourhood where he lives, the people around him. For this reason, entering film school and discovering writing as a vocation are, for him, a transition towards another life: artistic, prestigious, sophisticated.
This is the story of that transit and of what Nito loses along the way: his best friend, his girlfriend, his family. Writing is, at the same time, what causes loss and what relieves it; thanks to writing, Nito can keep everything alive, albeit in fiction.
Los brutos is not a story, but an accumulation of stories, an array of fictions. Some seem to be memories, others to be dreams, others inventions. They all have the same purpose: to look for the exceptional in reality and protect it from the passage of time, prevent it from disappearing.
