Repertorio has revealed the cast and creative team for its upcoming production of Amar después de la muerte by Pedro Calderón de la Barca. Set during the 16th-century Morisco revolt, this rarely staged Golden Age drama explores cultural resistance, forbidden love, and the cost of loyalty in a divided world. Directed by Jean Carlo Yunén Aróstegui, the production is presented in Spanish with English translations available. It is supported by the Van Lier Fellowship from The New York Community Trust.?
The cast features Victor Maraña as Don Álvaro Tuzaní and Diana Pou as Doña Clara de Malec. Also appearing are Jonathan Florez as Alcuzcuz, Jorge Sánchez Díaz as Don Fernando de Valor, Fernando Gazzaniga as Don Juan de Malec, Paulina de la Parra as Doña Isabel Tuzaní, Juan Pablo Mendive as Don Juan de Mendoza, Deborah Domínguez as Zara / Garcés, Cesar Augusto Cova as Don Juan de Austria, and Ana Sophia Colón as Morisca / Soldado. Together, they bring renewed intensity to Calderón's story of love and defiance in the face of persecution.
The creative team includes Daniel Landez as scenic designer, with Fabiola Arias serving as assistant director and Celina Revollar as stage manager. Omayra Garriga Casiano designs lighting, while Oriana Sofia leads costume design with support from associate Samantha Solomon.
