Onstage at the Arriaga!

I've made my European debut as a non-speaking theatre extra, and at Bilbao's oldest, most prestigious theatre, to boot.

Cosmético del enemigo was playing last night at the Teatro Arriaga. It's a four-hander that takes place in an airport lounge. And how better to create the airport atmosphere than to have people sitting on stage throughout the performance?

An actor friend is friends with one of the actors in the show; they were looking for extras, and my friend asked me if I'd like to join him and his troupe on stage. I accepted of course. It was basically a chance the see a play for free, and up close and personal with the actors.

Here's the view from the stage:

The show was great. Good thing, because falling asleep on stage would have been pretty embarrasing.

Here are my partners in crime; the other actors on stage with me. ( It was Carnaval, hence why one guy is dressed up in a kilt and wig.)
