The central conflict involves a monstrous midget and his mother, who drags him from fair to fair begging for alms. When the mother dies, the child goes on to be exploited by other relatives. The play marks the convergence of Valle-Inclán’s magical, rural and Galician theatre as it sets out before us a virtual gallery of sordid characters. (In Spanish)

EL REY QUE NO OÍA, PERO ESCUCHABA (The King Who Could Not Hear, but Listened)
Written by Perla Szchumaker | Directed by Adrian Blue and Alberto Lomnitz
Two brothers, princes in a faraway kingdom, love each other very much until the day their father, the elderly king, dies. The first-born prince, who is noble and capable, is deprived of his right to inherit the crown for the sole reason that he is deaf. The ministers of the realm prefer to crown his younger brother, who can hear. But soon they learn that what distinguishes a true king is not his ability to hear, but to listen. It’s a simple fable about tolerance and brotherly love, an ingenious piece in which five minstrels – three of them deaf – play more than twenty-five characters. (In Spanish, Mexican sign language and pantomime; for the entire family)

Seventeenth century playwright Lope de Vega’s cats stop being mere fairy tale characters and engage in distancing and seduction worthy of Brecht. It has been said that, to express themselves, children play, adolescents act and adults talk. Lope the wordsmith draws on his skills to communicate with his teenage son, who is in full action mode - on the battlefront, so to speak - and plays all the while. This outcome is a lesson on passions and the complications and consequences they entail. (In Spanish)

The growing population of street children, a subject often relegated to the forsaken realm of the painful and uncomfortable, is here addressed with mordant humor that makes no attempt to moralize or offer solutions beyond the scope of art. A play that fosters awareness in children, young people and parents of the importance of building a world where children live in decent conditions, sheltered and protected by family, where they enjoy the right to education and play and develop in an environment of support, equality and love.

In a minstrel-like performance, three actor-musicians retell the story of the conquest of Chile, focusing on the character of Pedro de Valdivia through his letters to King Carlos I of Spain (also known as Holy Roman Emperor Charles V). Through a lively combination of music, humor, and the actors’ vast expressive resources, the work prompts serious reflection on Spain’s colonization of the Americas. (In Spanish)

A story of five lives, five longings for love, five failures. A story of wishing and not knowing what to do, of absurd attempts, of wanting to live every day in spite of everything. A drama in which what counts is what is not seen, what is not said, what drives desire. Fear of not being, fear of being known. A run-down office, a couple’s home, a bar and a medical practice alternate in one space, stringing together the lives of five characters. What links them is loneliness, misunderstanding and the need to love. (In Spanish)

A famous actress and her husband embark on a tour of Latin America, but the Bogotazo, the massive rioting that followed the assassination of a Colombian presidential candidate in April 1948, forces them to remain inside a theater for 33 hours. The play focuses more on the couple’s problems than on the national crisis, and highlights the way Latin Americans view their individual fates, and that of their continent, in a violent world. Based on real events, it won the University of Miami’s 1987 Golden Letters Award. (In Spanish with English supertitles)
