Theater — «Farra»
Family theater — «Farra» at the Cuyás Theater, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
Party, celebration, culture, and community meet during carnival time in Madrid in 1568 or 1668 or 2024. During carnival, everything is possible, rules change, and the world is governed by paradoxes. The baroque revelry, the party, opens the door to music, madness, magic, or acrobatics amidst masquerades, dances, and rejoicings.
And, like all subversion, the objective lies in pointing out the madness of the past and present, stirring consciences and celebrating our encounter.
…there are only two types of theater: the good kind and the one that only aspires to be good. ‘Farra’, a co-production by the CNTC and the Alicante-based company Lucas Escobedo, is an excellent example of the former, that is, of Theater with a capital T, of a theater that merges verse with baroque music and the most elegant circus with a sense of humor… José Miguel Vila (Diario Crítico)
…a lighthearted, agile, and ingenious proposal that skillfully and intelligently combines music, verse, circus, fencing, and dramatic adventure… Raúl Losánez (La Razón) Stage combat, live music, circus, humor, and magic take us on a journey through the Golden Age and build bridges with the present. We bring, wherever we go, our party, our Farra. We talk about history, about humanity, we bring news of the ills that afflict our world, with humor and stirring consciences, and we celebrate each encounter as a great party and revelry.
