An amalgam of “all bloods” in one environment. The inevitable intermixing of native peoples, whites and others in a Peru that was until recently dramatically divided, yet today flows ahead with the vigorous energy of a mixed race that covers almost an entire continent, pushing Peru to look at itself, to tear off the blindfold and set off like a modern-day, liberated Oedipus.

Roxana loved a Cristian whose soul was borrowed from someone else, and she sought God in an effort to find comfort, but it was Cyrano who kept her alive, almost happy, with his fidelity and protection.

According to the author, in this play, “a theme took over that has recurrently fascinated me in all the novels and plays I have written: that of fiction and life, the role one plays in the other, the way they feed off each other, merge, repel and complement each other in every individual destiny.” (In Spanish with English supertitles)

Written and directed by Pepe Cibrián Campoy
Miami-Dade College's Koubek Center Theater | 2705 SW 3rd Street, Miami
TICKETS :: 305.237.3262 | www.teatroprometeo.org
A tribute to García-Lorca, one of the greatest playwrights in the Spanish language, a tribute to the man and his convictions. “Marica” is a pejorative term that beyond describing a sexual orientation, humiliates men. But a man cannot be humiliated by a word. If he faces the verbal abuse with dignity, the insult exalts and ennobles him.
