Synopsis: | Astrological omens predict that if King Basilio's son Segismundo is crowned, he will become a horrible tyrant who will bring destruction to his kingdom. Basilio imprisons Segismundo for life, but decades later he decides to let his son prove his ability to defy the stars. Allowed to rule the palace, Segismundo wreaks bloody vengeance on the kingdom, confirming the prediction of the stars, and the prince is returned to his prison. In Nilo Cruz's sublime translation of Calderón de la Barca's classic, the question of whether life is a dream or an illusion takes on a renewed relevance and urgency. | |||||

| To protect the country from the horrors prophesied, Segismundo is condemned for all eternity. Banished to a secret world high in the mountains and cut off from the sun, he can only dream of a life reversed: of palaces, empires, freedom and revenge. Helen Edmundson's new version of Calderon's richly poetic, epic masterpiece explores illusion, reality, fate and destiny against the backdrop of a mythical kingdom. | |||||

Synopsis: | The Culture Project, Maria del Puy Navarro Amador, in collaboration with Amnesty International USA, and in association with Francisco Reyes, present a special engagement of a pro-human rights theatrical event based on the classic Spanish play Life Is A Dream (La Vida es Sueno) by Calderón de la Barca with bilingual adaptation by Ms. Navarro Amador. This production finds its inspiration in Spain's Judge Baltasar Garzón, who is a specialist in the research of terrorism, crimes against humanity, and international organized crime. This revised version of Life Is A Dream (La Vida es Sueno), now set in the U.S., encompasses the plight of the Latin American emigrant. Originally published around 1636, the play tells the story of a Polish king whose son, Segismundo, was declared dead at birth because it had been prophesied that he would bring disaster to the country. Imprisoned all his life, the son reaches adulthood, and the King reveals that he is alive. With the court's approval, the King wants to declare Segismundo the heir to the throne. However, upon his release from prison, Segismundo turns violent killing a man and attempts rape. He is returned to prison where he is drugged, told that it was all a dream and is made to repent for his bad behavior by his Jailor. Rebels free the remorseful Segismundo who defeats the King's army causing him to doubt if he is in a reality or a dream. Segismundo's brutal transition from imprisonment to power makes him realize the ephemeral and fragile essence of life, concluding that good works are all that matter and constitute our legacy. | |||||

| Don Pedro has it all - high position, wealth, a beautiful family - and enjoys the good life in the heart of the Spanish capital. But now he faces a challenge that would test the patience of a saint. It is time to marry off his daughters. It's bad enough that his eldest Beatriz is both obsessed by the latest fashions and talks like a university professor, but his youngest Leonor is already enjoying illicit midnight trysts with her lover and is in no mood to accept an arranged marriage. Throw into this explosive mix the extravagant young man about town, Don Alonso, who thinks all women, like all plays, are excellent on the first night and boring on the second, and you have the recipe for an hilarious comedy that reaches out effortlessly across the centuries. | |||||
