Federico Garcia Lorca (1898 - 1936) wrote "Audience" in 1930 when he was visiting in Cuba. It's one of two surrealist plays he wrote - he and Salvador Dali were close friends - but it wasn't produced until 1987, fifty-one years after he'd been murdered by Franco's soldiers. Now artistic director Yuval Zamir is directing it at his Simta Theater in Old Jaffa. It's a great pageant of a piece in which 12 actors play some 60 parts including horses, Shakespearean characters and various objects. The play is built around the character of a director accused by four horses, representing repressed desires, of having sold his artistic soul to fame and fortune. Audience opens at the Simta on December 20.More about:Francisco Franco, Cubafunction initServerVars() { _headup.clientHost = 'http://newstopics.jpost.com'; _headup.termsFromServer = "Franco's$$Cuba"; _headup.annotatedTerms = ['dbpedia:Francisco_Franco$$1', 'dbpedia:Cuba$$1'] _headup.widgetMode = 'snippet'; _headup.snippetButtonStyle = 'banner'; _headup.blackListedUrl = false; } <!-- Terms Count: 2 TTL: 60 Terms From Server: Franco's, Cuba DateTime: 6/6/2011 6:14:44 AM -->
