El Merolico – a reworking of Cervantes’ comic interludes

Cutting-edge Mexican company EFE TRES will present El Merolico (The Mountebank), a reworking of Cervantes’ comic interludes as delivered by a single traveling performer in small-town in Mexico.

La empresa Mexicana de vanguardia EFE TRES presentará La obra  “El Merolico”,  unos entremeses de Cervantes, interpretados por un solo actor que hace todos los papeles. Es una maravilla. No se lo pierdan!

“El retablo” y “La cueva de Salamanca.”

About: The Merolico is a street merchant along the lines of a fortuneteller or medieval quack. He is a hustler who came to have a particular style in Mexico that is not seen in any other part of the world. Condemned to a solitary existence and eternal exile, the “Merolico” is relegated to the sidelines where he observes and reflects on human nature. No matter what his mood is, each day he has to face a new audience that awaits his best performance.

El Merolico interprets the stories told in the following entremeses by Miguel de Cervantes:

• El retablo de las maravillas – Chirinos and Chanfalla are always looking for a new way to trick people. Their new joke is to make people think they see “marvelous things” on their small, traveling puppet stage when, in fact, there is nothing there.
• La cueva de Salamanca – Leonarda and her maid, Cristina, have affairs with the town’s barber and sacrist respectively. Then, they try to deceive Leonarda’s husband, Celindo. (Source: NPS.GOV)

Efe Tres Teatro

Efe Tres Teatro was formed 2012 by a group of performing artists coming together to playfully demonstrate that the classics, especially those of the baroque era, still have much to show us. Up to this point, their style has been to revive the ñaque style of theater in which a pair of actors during the Spanish Golden Age would play all of the parts of a complete work of theater. They seek to appeal to the spectator’s sense of fantasy, leaning toward theatricality and giving more importance to the imagination than a realistic portrayal. Based on these notions, they and each audience member create a unique world together.

Compañía conformada en 2012 por un equipo de artistas escénicos que se reúnen con el afán de mostrar de una forma
lúdica que los clásicos, sobre todo de la época barroca, aún tienen mucho que decirnos. Hasta ahora sus montajes rescatan el estilo del ñaque: pareja de actores que durante los Siglos de Oro en España representaban a todos los personajes de una obra teatral. Buscan apelar a la fantasía del público apostando siempre por la teatralidad y dando más importancia a la imaginación que al realismo ilustrativo. A partir de estas ideas, en cada función, crean un universo único junto con cada espectador.

The Day of the Dead (Spanish: Día de Muertos) is a celebration that started in Mesoamerica (an area that covers Central Mexico to Costa Rica) about 3,000 years ago. Different cultures including Aztec, Maya and Toltec, celebrated the life of their loved ones, they used to have a celebration for the infants or children that had deceased and another one for the adults. These celebrations usually coincided with the migration of the Monarch Butterflies which some cultures associate with spirits returning home. When the Spaniards arrived they fused their catholic celebrations with the indigenous rituals celebrating two Spanish holidays: All Saints Day (Nov. 1) and All Soul’s Day (Nov. 2). Día de Muertos is often celebrated on November 1st as a day to remember children who have passed away, and on Nov. 2 to honor adults.
In 2008, the tradition was inscribed in the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO.

Although Day of The Dead is mostly considered a Mexican Holiday it is celebrated in one form or another in many countries to include: Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Guatemala, Puerto Rico, Peru, El Salvador, Venezuela and many others.
