El retablillo de Don Cristóbal/The Farce of Don Cristóbal and the Maiden Rosita
By Federico García Lorca (Spain)
Directed by Adhemar and Ximena Bianchi (Argentina)
Apr 8 - May 2, 2010
Influenced by his passionate enthusiasm for the marionettes of his childhood, García Lorca combines his unique poetic
lyricism and the rough folk humor of the traditional trickster in this bawdy and delicious farce in which the old, lascivious
Don Cristóbal lustfully pursues the young and innocent Rosita for his bride. This is fertile terrain for the Bianchis’ love of
popular art forms: street theater, circus, commedia dell’arte, and Golden Age Spanish theater. In this staging, Republican
soldiers and members of the Abraham Lincoln International Brigade who are fighting in the Spanish Civil War celebrate
their cause for freedom with impassioned songs of the war and a joyful performance of Lorca’s puppet play.
