REPERTORIO ESPAÑOL ANNOUNCES THE NEW YORK CITY PREMIERE OF JUAN MAYORGA’S LA PAZ PERPETUA

paz art

La paz perpetua begins previews on Friday, February 21st and premieres on Tuesday, February 25th, 2020 at Repertorio Español’s historic Gramercy Arts Theater located at 138 East 27th Street in Manhattan, New York.

The acclaimed play by Juan Mayorga is directed by Leyma López. The cast includes Germán Jaramillo, Zulema Clares as well as Luis Carlos de la Lombana, Sandor Juan and Pedro de León.

JANUARY, 2020 – NEW YORK, NY – Repertorio Español is proud to announce the New York City premiere of La paz perpetua by renowned Spanish playwright and dramatist Juan Mayorga and directed by Leyma López. The show was received as a critical success in Spain and is the recipient of the 2009 Valle Inclán Award. Inspired by the 1795 German philosopher Immanuel Kant, La paz perpetua reimagines the text of the same name in a modern context. It investigates the concepts of power, personal ideologies, and political agendas through the eyes of dogs. La paz perpetua holds a mirror to modern society, asking what is humanity willing to sacrifice for peace?

ABOUT THE PLAY 

The elite canine squad K7 is on the hunt for new member. Three dogs have made it to the final rounds of testing but only one can move ahead. Will it be the Rottweiler with a powerful nose? The tough crossbreed who follows orders without question? Or the intelligent and philosophical German Shepherd with a personal vendetta? A grizzled veteran Labrador issues the examinations that will ultimately decide which dog can wear the prestigious “white collar” of K7. How far will they go to reach their goal? And at what cost?

Guest Post: Mariana Carreño King Describes the Process Behind Writing “Señorita 744890”

Michael Palma for Mariana Correno KIng RepOn the brink of starting the last week of rehearsals, I think I speak for the rest of the crew when I say we are very excited!

It has been a very intense process, but also one filled with surprises. Even though, I have a few years working on this play, you really don’t know what works and what doesn’t until you work with actors and designers.

This play started as a monologue. I was reading an article about the effects of solitary confinement on imprisoned women and I remembered a legend which I love titled La mulata de Córdoba. In the story, there’s a beautiful dark-skinned women that doesn’t pay attention to any of the man from her town, her lack of interest in the men around her, causes people to accuse her of witchcraft which in turn leads to her being incarcerated; in some versions she was in a jail in other versions she was held in a cave. Nonetheless, the point is that she is alone and only has a piece of chalk to draw on the walls…I won’t tell you what happens next to not ruin the play for you.

While I wrote the monologue, it didn’t seem appropriate so I chose to add the other characters.

The idea that the play was written by a lonely writer sitting in a dark and depressing apartment is not necessarily true (my apartment is not depressing, just disorganized). Well, maybe the first draft. But plays are a product of many people working together. This play was not the exception. The ideas developed with the help of many artistic residencies where I was able to work with actors and directors, among them, “Playground” with Lark Play Development Center, a “Summer Intensive” with LAByrinth Theatre Company and “INKtank” with Rising Circle.

Daniel Jáquez, the director, has directed three lectures with different actors in the last three years. In every lecture along with the comments from different mentors and actors, the ideas and perspective kept growing. I may take the credit as playwright, but the real credit belongs to all those who have put their grain of sand.

To win the Metlife “Nuestra Voces” National Playwright Competition has been an incredible experience. Repertorio has been a generous and open to the bizarre ideas I come up with. I wrote the script in English, but I love to showcase it in Spanish. To do the translation has thought me a lot about the characters, the story and what I wanted to say; it also helped me to improve the English script. I am extremely grateful for this opportunity.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Miss 748890 was written and developed during a Playground Residency with The Lark Play Development Center, two Summer Intensives with LAByrinth Theatre Company, and an INKtank Residency with Rising Circle, under the mentorship of Migdalia Cruz y Deepa Purohit.

Mariana wishes to thank Migdalia Cruz, Deepa Purohit, Portia Jones, Marlene Forte, Teddy Cañez, Kohl Sudduth, Socorro Santiago, Lanna Joffrey, Harvey Gardner Moore, e Irene Sofia Lucio, for their support, feedback and for giving life to these characters in different incarnations.

What happens when a young, flirtatious woman marries a much older, somber shoemaker?

She’s Back! Flamenco Star Olga Pericet Returns to Repertorio in November

Michael Palma for Repertorio Olga Pericet 015 (1) - Copy

After a critically acclaimed run of her show “Flamenco Untitled” at Repertorio this past April, Flamenco star Olga Pericet will return in November, 2015.

Pericet’s unique style and “mad whirls” (so described by New York Magazine in their approval index) captivated audiences during its previous three week run, and there is little doubt that the extraordinarily talented dancer will bring that same magic back to Repertorio’s stage just in time for the holidays. From the moment the show premiered in April, Pericet rapidly took New York City by storm, garnering glowing reviews and mentions in publications like The New York Times, The New Yorker, DanceTabs Magazine and many, many more. The wild success of the notably petite dancer drew figures from New York’s world of society and politics, including figures like María Cristina Anzola de Heimann, Commissioner Cynthia López from The Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment, and prolific designer Carolina Herrera who personally visited Ms. Pericet backstage to congratulate her.

Even more important, however, was Ms. Pericet’s willingness to participate in Repertorio’s education program ¡DIGNIDAD!, offering several morning performances tailored to school groups to introduce the magic of Flamenco and Spanish dance to students.

In addition to the bailaora, guitarist Antonia Jimenez will be joining the ensemble again. Jimenez is not only an incredible guitarist from the Andalusian city of Cádiz, but is also one of the very few, very rare female Flamenco guitarists. The inclusion of Jimenez, according to Pericet, is a reminder of an almost forgotten fact of the origin of Flamenco – in the early stages of the dance, it was exclusively women who played the role of guitarist, a little known fact nearly lost to history and revived in “Flamenco Untitled.”

Equally as bright as her talent, Ms. Pericet’s warm personality and intimate knowledge of her field makes her more than a superstar dancer and choreographer, but also an approachable expert in one of the worlds most interesting fields of dance.

“Olga Pericet: Flamenco Untitled” returns to Repertorio Español on November 5th, just in time for the early Holiday Season. Tickets are currently on sale on Repertorio’s website, www.repertorio.nyc or at the box office by calling (212) 225 9999.

Michael Palma’s Shots of “Su nombre será su sombra para siempre”

Talented photographer Michael Palma stopped by Repertorio to snap these great shots of Repertorio’s newest play and 2013 winner of the MetLife ‘Nuestras Voces’ National Playwriting Competition, “Su nombre será su sombra para siempre” (Your Name Will Follow You Home) by Carlos Murillo and directed by José Zayas.

Following the story of a group of Hispanic-American writers in 1988 New York City, the play is a perfect example of not only what the ‘Nuestras Voces’ Competition can discover, but what Hispanic-American playwrights are writing and contributing to the great Latino tradition of theater. Another great treat is the incredibly designed and versatile set, conceived by Leni Méndez, which allows for a convenient transition between the play’s various settings.

With a planned run until February, check out Repertorio’s main website for tickets or call the box office line at (212) 225 9999

Repertorio’s summer hit has received rave reviews from many publications and networks, including TimeOut New York, The Huffington Post, Univision41 and many others.

The play follows the story of the miserly Nino Antonio Ortíz whose hallucinations of former Domincan president Joaquín Balaguer force him to confront the dark secrets of his family embedded in the Caribbean nation’s history. Simultaneously, he must confront the debilitating effects of both his illness and children as he deteriorates in his Washington Heights home.

A perfect mix of history, culture, comedy and tragedy, “Barceló con hielo” is a story with a universal message based on the psyche of not only Dominican immigrants, but anyone who has experienced to some degree the psychological and emotional effects of leaving home.

“Barceló con hielo” premiered at Repertorio Español on Friday, June 13th at 8pm.
