Lazarillo a new, bilingual adapta­
tion of the classic Spanish book
Lazari llo de Torm es, will open for its
world premiere by the Miracle The­
ater, 525 S.E. Stark St., on Friday,
May 6 at 8 p.m. with shows continu­
ing through May 28.
At a time when heroes and lead­
ers w ere alw ays portrayed as
wealthy, refined noblemen, Lazarillo
was the first picturesque novel -
one that revolved around a poor
man, a charming rogue whose an­
tics revealed the hypocrisies and
flaws of Spain’s more powerful
people.
The story tells of a peasant boy
who serves many masters as he
modestly climbs the social and eco­
nomic ladder.
C re ated and d ire c te d by
CarlosAlexis Cruz, this modern in­
terpretation set in the Bronx of the
1980s integrates hip-hop, circus and
comedia dell’arte traditions to cre­
ate a vibrant evening of physical
theatre suitable for audiences age 5
and older.
Accompanying the Wednesday
evening performance schedule will
be a conversation series on dissent,
social clim bing, and adaptation
called The Inquisition of Lazarillo:
Raising the Question, moderated
by Art Director Olga Sanchez.
Admission is $ 14-$25; discounts
for students, seniors and advance
purchases. For more information
and purchase o f tick ets, visit
milagro.org or call 503-236-7253.
