2004 |
13th
Season
|
|
Uniting people from Spain to México, and from there all Hispanic
people - without forgetting our Caribbean colleagues - until we arrive in
Argentina. Uniting talents through award-winning Hispanic productions. Uniting
the need to share this work with others. Now, especially, we walk together
towards "Theater for the People". |
February 4, 2004 (6:30-8:30PM) |
On
Wednesday, February 4, 2004, from 6:30PM – 8:30PM the 7th International
Festival of Hispanic Theater will officially open in the Oval Salon of the
Argentina Embassy at 1600 New Hampshire Avenue, N.W., Washington, DC.
Close to the Dupont Circle Metro Station. Our official Festival President,
Puerto Rican dramatist, actor and director Myrna Casas, will open the doors to
the festival, and to our very good friends as well. |

Who says Theater of the Absurb isn’t logical? Especially as it
flies us through stories we are told are for children yet, as adults, we still
don’t understand.

"masseuse"; and Gloria, a hopelessly drunk tarot-card reader.
