Press Reviews


DOMINICAN REP.

SANTO DOMINGO

Teatro Guloya

Othello... Sniff

based on ‘Othello’
by William Shakespeare
directed by Viena González

 & Claudio Rivera

adapted & performed by

 Claudio Rivera

Othelo... Sniff’s scenic blend of Afro-West Indian dance forms and artful Clown movements captivates the audience with its comical montage of subversive images. This reflection of Dominican identity cleverly depicts the universal nature of Shakespeare’s play.

October, Thursday 11  &  Friday 12 - 8pm
October, Saturday 13 - 3pm & 8pm
Farse   -   U.S. Première  -  Ages: 13+


ARGENTINA

BUENOS AIRES

Compañía Los del Verso

Jesucristo

Jesus Christ

written & directed by Mariano Moro

performed by Mariano Mazzei

As in a painting, such as the many that have been inspired by the same theme throughout the centuries, we rediscover a Jesus who is transparent, believable, insightful. Words of love are embroidered in moving stories ... and Mazzei delivers them with a dash of humor.

October, Thursday 18  &  Friday 19 - 8pm
October, Saturday 20 - 3pm & 8pm
One-man show   -   U.S. Première  -  Ages: 13+


SPAIN

SANTANDER

Escena Miriñaque

Cartas de las

Golondrinas

Letters from the Swallows

written & directed by Blanca del Barrio

with Noelia Fernández & Esther Aja

Fragments; personal stories that speak of hope, of opportunity, of nostalgia, of identity. At the beginning of the 20th Century, with the hope for a better future, they uprooted themselves from their lands; they were the enterprising and reckless Spaniards in the Americas ... And today, history repeats itself ... in this infinite, circular journey.

October, Thursday 25  &  Friday 26 - 8pm
October, Saturday 27 - 3pm & 8pm
Dramatic Comedy   -   U.S. Première  -  Ages: 13+


ECUADOR

QUITO

Zero No Zero Teatro

Agüita de Viejas

Fragrances from the Past

written & directed by María B. Vergara

with María Beatriz Vergara

& Juana Estrella

Two well-conceived characters - both physically and spiritually - create this portrait of “a class of old women” who practice a way of being and a way of life ... From what they say and what they keep to themselves, we become avid confidants of their thoughts and naughtiness.

November, Thursday 1  &  Friday 2 - 8pm
November, Saturday 3 - 3pm & 8pm
Comedy   -   U.S. Première  -  Ages: 13+


USA

Teatro Doble

Yo la llamo Rusita Rojas
I Call Her Rusita Rojas

In Spanish only

written by Cristina Ferrari

directed by Jacqueline Briceño
with Diana Vallejo,

 Cristina Ferrari & Danly Arango

Dynamic, instructive and entertaining adaptation of the classic children’s tale, ‘Red Riding Hood’ by Charles Perrault. Three very funny characters return to the pages of a storybook ... a place in which to relish that time of childhood and fantasy.

Adults $15; children under 13 $10 & under 4 FREE!
November, Saturday 3 - 11:30am

VENEZUELA

CARACAS

I.E. Producciones C.A.

Palabras Encadenadas

Killing Words

written by Jordi Galcerán

directed by Elba Escobar

with Noheli Arteaga & Antonio Delli

A couple’s relationship from a point of view that exposes them as two human beings locked in a game without limits; life as a game, and a game to survive. Worn-out love, the separation and pain that this implies. A psychological and mental exercise embellished in an erotic and depraved fashion.

November, Thursday 8  &  Friday 9 - 8pm
November, Saturday 10 - 3pm & 8pm
Grotesque Comedy   -   U.S. Première  -  Ages: 13+


ARGENTINA

BUENOS AIRES

Gazpatxo Producciones
Madre Primeriza

First Time Mother

written, directed & performed by
Mariel Rosciano

Women with a profession, a husband, a house to take care of. Top this off with the arrival of a child. Day to day frenzy! Luckily, first time moms only happen once in a lifetime, and the intensive course to learn how to parent is unique, singular, and flies by.

November, Thursday 15  &  Friday 16 - 8pm
November, Saturday 17 - 3pm & 8pm
Comedy   -   U.S. Première  -  Ages: 13+
