A tribute to the 150th anniversary of the birth of Serafín (1871-1938) and Joaquín (1873-1944) Álvarez Quintero by re-staging some of their most charismatic works. A vision focusing on the melodramatic offers an idealized, amusing, and friendly portrait of the land of Andalusia.

TEATRO AVANTE
Miami, U.S.A.
It takes place between two eras and spaces, with the central theme being the mark that dictatorships, often rising under the guise of democratic revolutions, leave on societies and human beings. Through the tools that theatre, thought, and art offer us, we analyze how totalitarian regimes develop mechanisms of violence, often covert and subtle, that break and test the integrity of individuals.
