Sociedad Actoral Hispanoamericana presenta “El Romancero Gitano”
El Romancero Gitano es una obra poética de Federico GarcÃa Lorca, publicada en 1928. Está compuesta por dieciocho romances con temas como la noche, la muerte, el cielo, la luna. Todos los poemas tienen algo en común, tratan de la cultura gitana. El autor hace muchas descripciones al mundo de los gitanos.
Presenta una gran sÃntesis entre la poesÃa popular y la alta, transcurre entre dos motivos centrales, AndalucÃa y los gitanos, tratados de manera metafórica y mÃtica.
La obra refleja las penas de un pueblo perseguido que vive al margen de la sociedad y que se ve perseguido por los representantes de la autoridad, y por su lucha contra esa autoridad represiva. El libro tiene mucha sensualidad y muchas metáforas que marcan la historia.
Este Romancero será interpretado por el PREMIADO Actor Puertorriqueño Miguel Sahid el mismo estará complementado con los bailes de la bailaora española de flamenco Leandra “La Greca” que entre cuerdas y bailes le darán vida a este popular Romancero Gitano.
Esta puesta en escena estará dirigida por Director Puertorriqueño Edwin Pabellón.
Presentandose en KimbaraCumbara los Sabados a partir del 7 de Mayo, 2010. Para reservaciones 786-339-4577 / 305-873-4552
