EN EL TIEMPO DE LAS MARIPOSAS at Repertorio

"In the Time of the Butterflies" is a play based on the 1994 homonymous novel by Julia Álvarez. Both texts use fiction to recreate the historical account of four sisters under the regime of Rafael Leónidas Trujillo, also known as “El Jefe” [The Boss], through decades of violence in the Dominican Republic. The play premiered in January of 2011 and has been part of the Repertorio’s rotating productions ever since.
