2010 FREE SUMMER STAGE TOUR

blackout

"... truly the quintessential Boricua play" • "... simple in its humanity"

Pregones Theater and the Puerto Rican Traveling Theatre present EL APAGÓN/THE BLACKOUT as part of their Free Summer Stage Tour of NYC on August 14-29, 2010.   Adapted from "The Night We Became People Again" by José Luis González, and set to the beat of popular Latin songs from the 1950's and 60's, this acclaimed play narrates the saga of a young factory worker and expectant father, and his best friend Trompoloco, as they brave subway and street, from Brooklyn to El Barrio, on the day of the Great Northeastern Blackout. "Illuminated by miracles and music, El Apagón/The Blackout whips through very funny riffs on assembly-line work, the panicky subway crowd, the miracle of the baby, and the blaze of stars." - The New York Times Directed by Jorge B. Merced with Music by Desmar Guevara. Featuring: Omar Pérez and Johary Ramos. Musicians: Anthony Carrillo (percussion), Waldo Chávez (bass), Desmar Guevara (keyboard) and Alberto Toro (flute).

Performed in Spanish and English for the entire family.

Charting the rise and fall of the Trueba family in an un-named Latin American country (reminiscent of Chile), the piece spans the 1920s through the 1970s, as the country moves through enormous sociopolitical changes that culminate in a devastating dictatorship.

The play is told from the point of view of, Alba, the youngest of three generation of women. The swirling memories, frightening and amusing, lyrical and fantastic, illuminate the stage as Alba records her family's history and ultimately finds the strength to recover her own story.

Ad for Calderon's Life is a dreamWhat would happened if you discovered that your life is only a dream? By Pedro Calderón de la Barca

Directed by René Buch Production Design: Robert Federico Production Manager: Fernando Then • Sound Design: Jimmy Tanaka Presented in Spanish with live simultaneous translation via headsets. Recommended for adult audiences.

A new production as part of Repertorio Español’s 40th Anniversary Celebration.

Segismundo, a prince, is imprisoned after his horoscope revealed that he will bring disaster to the country. After almost a lifetime in prison, Segismundo is released to reign over the country, however, he turns rebellious and committs rape and murder. He is then drugged, re-imprisoned and told that the previous events were a dream, which brings him to question what parts of his life are reality and which are a dream.

The play, Calderón’s most famous work, is considered an allegory about the human situation and the mystery of life. Tickets start at $25. VIP Seats available. Now in repertory. For reservations please visit repertorio.org
