The Promenade Players Theatre Company & La Fabbrica dello Spettocalo from Milan, Italy Present:
Lorcabaret
The play relates to racial, sexual, social economic and political diversity; which in fact is why Lorca was murdered. In this trip to the U.S., Lorca finds a different reality, one less suffocating than the one he knew back in the Primo De Rivera dictatorship in Spain. He is able to live openly, embracing his sexuality, in a free world without secrets.
During the last stop of this journey, Lorca was in Cuba and loved to spend evenings at the "Alhambra" Theatre for men. LORCAberet is a variety show of sorts, re-adapted as if it were a show in the "Alhambra," for Lorca and about Lorca. The Prologue and the Epilogue are inspired from the musical, Cabaret, also set in 1929. There are similarities between Nazism and Franco's dictatorship that ultimately bring Lorca to his death.
LORCAbaret is a parade of human bestiary that evokes Lorca's state of mind in America; with a strong visual impact on racial, sexual, social and economic discrimination. Lorca's cruel murder is one of the greatest insults to human dignity ever made.
