Party Time... Celebrating Theater!
|
This festival is a vital part of our 15th season “Party Time...
Celebrating Theater!” In this celebration we must give a
prominent place – and proper credit – to the key interpreter of
theater: the actor. On a small, elevated space, this person
brings us the eternal magic of childhood, the beautiful dreams
of fulfilled desires. An Embrace to the Ninth International Festival
Words from
Freddy Ginebra Director of Casa de Teatro, Santo Domingo,
Dominican Republic
THIS IS FOR YOU…
More than ever
before, we want to reach out to embrace each and every one of you and
say, “Thanks!” Yes, thank you for helping make the 9th
International Festival of Hispanic Theater an unforgettable event.
Your direct and
spontaneous help left a beautiful impression with everyone; with all the
visiting artists and with us, who feel so appreciated knowing you are
with us. Thank you!
We are so happy we
don’t want this sharing to end, so we invite you to come back to our
Poetry Marathon!

Casting
US Première |
|
by Eva Egido Leiva &
Rubén Vejabalbán
Directed by Rubén Vejabalbán |
|
|
|
A young actress at a casting call, a woman obsessed with her
figure, a casualty of women’s fashions, an anorexic … all demonstrate the
objectification of women in today’s society. Using classical and
modern texts with personal introspections, Casting is strong, witty and
sadly, true... |

Did you ever hear about La Casa de Marina? ... In 1959
there was a violent revolution in Cuba. The next year, military stormed
Marina’s temple to lust and evicted her and her working girls... The
play is a metaphor on the collapse of memory and the certainty that Time
is a tyrant’s best ally. |
