“The dramatization of conflict within the individual human mind is the oldest and most basic form of drama. The theatricalization of this conflict has a long and varied history in the literary and cultural traditions of Latin America.”
Duane Rhoades, The Independent Monologue in Latin American Theatre: A Primary Bibliography with Selective Secondary Resources
Colombian dramatist Rafael Guizado reflected on the nature of love in his collection of short stories Cinco Veces Amor (1948). Two independent monologues from Cinco Veces Amor—one tragic, one hopeful— combine into a tour de force for the actor.
This staged reading with text provided in both English and Spanish is set to live music. Opus 121, Four Serious Songs, by Johannes Brahms was the German composer’s reflection on the nature of life’s cycle. The music is described as “compact, refined, uncompromising masterpieces.”
