Compañía Nacional De Teatro - Misantropías De Héctor Mendoza – Teatro Principal, Guanajuato City

About this event

The listing presents Misantropías as a tribute to playwright Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, known as Molière, and to the lives of theatre people. The work unfolds across different planes of reality, so the theatre company's activity and its reflection on theatre become part of the dramatic device itself. The production follows Alceste's company, led by a highly talented playwright and director who cannot mediate in a world marked by hypocrisy. The stage conflict combines the concrete threat of a trial, which could cause him to lose the theatre, with romantic entanglements and discussions about the actor's profession, human nature, and love. Luis de Tavira is credited as director, Jorge Valdivia as resident director, and Aurora Cano as artistic director. The listing does not publish cast names or credits for set design, costumes, lighting, sound design, or video.
