Duende de Lorca

Duende de Lorca

April 22, 2011

A bi-lingual play by Teatro Milagro

Columbia Center for the Arts is proud to present Duende de Lorca, a new bilingual play by Teatro Milagro Friday, April 22nd, 7:30 PM.

In English

Duende de Lorca is the story of Federico García Lorca, who is celebrated the world over for his poetry, music and plays. Yet at the age of 27, he was still a struggling artist living with his parents, staging puppet plays that were laughed off the stage by the critics.

His need for freedom fueled his desire to succeed. In search of duende, his travels through New York and Cuba became a quest for cultural integration and gender acceptance.

Duende de Lorca follows the early years of Federico’s successes, from the opening night of Mariana Pineda, followed by the printing of Gypsy Ballads and Poet in New York. Audiences will share in his triumphs and failures and his relationships with Salvador Dali, Melchor Almagro, Emilio Aladren and others as his journey from New York to Cuba shapes his life and his art.

En Español

Federico García Lorca se celebra en el mundo entero por su poesía, música y obras de teatro. Sin embargo, a la edad de 27 años, todavía era un artista hambriento que vivía con sus padres, poniendo en escena obras de títeres que de cual se reían los críticos.

Su necesidad de libertad impulsó su deseo de tener éxito. En busca del duende, sus viajes por Nueva York y Cuba se convirtieron en una búsqueda de la integración cultural y la aceptación de género.

Duende de Lorca sigue los primeros años de los primeros éxitos de Federico, desde la noche del estreno de Mariana Pineda, hasta la impresión de Gypsy Ballads and Poeta en Nueva York. El público podrá compartir sus triunfos y fracasos y su relación con Salvador Dalí, Melchor Almagro, Emilio Aladren y otros mientras el viaje de España a Nueva York y Cuba da forma a su vida y su arte.

This is a one-night-only performance by Teatro Milagro.
