Teatro Círculo Continues the Celebration of its 30th Anniversary by Staging 'El alcalde de Zalamea' by Pedro Calderón de la Barca
When a father’s love meets military abuse, justice becomes a deadly weapon.
Teatro Círculo, one of New York City's leading Spanish language theater companies, continues the celebration of its 30th anniversary with the staging of the Spanish Golden Age Classic 'El alcalde de Zalamea' (The Mayor of Zalamea) by Pedro Calderón de la Barca, under the direction of Daniel Alonso de Santos (Spain) and verse direction by Karmele Aranburu (Spain), and it will be performed in Spanish verse with overtitles in English.
This version of Calderón’s classical masterpiece is set during the invasion of Puerto Rico by the US Army in 1898 and explores the moral challenges of a wealthy peasant, Pedro Crespo, whose daughter, Isabel is attacked by a Captain of the Spanish Army. When Pedro Crespo is elected the Mayor of Zalamea, he finds himself in a position of power, able to avenge his daughter. Will he do it?
