VIII
International Festival of Spanish Theater |
|
 |
|
|
To say "The Best of Both Worlds" is to bring
together the world of theater in its relentless search of its own expression --
Latin America -- and that other world that presents itself to be re-found, to be
rediscovered -- the Old World ... Both are essential, both are real, both are
our reality. So steady your gaze, reach out your hand ... the Best of Both
Worlds is here! An unforgettable festival. A theatrical banquet!

Still Life with Violin & A Costa Rican Tragedian In
Spite of Himself
Two for one! Two moments in a secret struggle for self
realization and identity. To the sweet strains of Mozart and Bach, two women
discover a relationship … with the same man! The scene changes, and two
harried employees surrealistically debate their routine, and the ordeals of
vacations. |

What do a bizarre medieval court, an absent psychologist’s office, love in a
grocery store and a trio of defrocked angels have in common? Dynamic
tableaux, bigger-than life personalities and striking costumes in this
‘outside the box’ musical comedy … Now what have we missed? |
