RED BULL THEATER today announced that its fall offerings will continue with a premiere reading of The Courage to Right A Woman's Wrongs (Valor, Agravio y Mujer) by Ana Caro, presented in association with Diversifying the Classics | UCLA, on Monday, NOVEMBER 16th at 7:30 PM EDT.
One of the Spanish Golden Age's most accomplished female playwrights, Ana Caro presents a witty critique of society through the story of Leonor, a woman who sets out to find her one-time lover (Don Juan, naturally) and bring him to justice. The Courage to Right a Woman's Wrongs is a comedy of wild intrigue and lively ingenuity in which Leonor crosses geographical boundaries and defies social expectations of gender in order to bring her fickle lover to justice and restore her lost honor.
"All of us at Red Bull are thrilled to share a play by the remarkable and unjustly obscure Spanish Golden Age female playwright: Ana Caro," said Artistic Director Berger. "Ours will be the premiere New York reading of a brand new English-language version of Caro's delightfully surprising, proto-feminist take on the Don Juan legend, with a fantastic cast under the expert direction of Melia Bensussen."
"And we are doubly thrilled that this marks the beginning of a new Red Bull collaboration with UCLA's Diversifying the Classics - a dynamic initiative that is helping to discover and translate rarely produced classics which were originally penned in the Spanish language. Expanding our canon is important, and organization's like this are doing some of the most important work," added Managing Director Bredeson.
Dressed as the dashing Leonardo, Leonor travels from Seville to Brussels, where she finds Juan and initiates her shrewd plan for revenge. What follows is a hilarious feat of masterful maneuvering, replete with cross-dressing and unexpected twists, in which she repeatedly outwits the men around her. And while the thrill of Leonor's efforts to seek redress culminates with the expected restoration of her honor and marriage to Juan, the questions raised by her demands for justice make the play anything but conventional. Through this stirring tale of a woman's courage to right the wrongs she has suffered, the play holds up to scrutiny contemporary notions of masculine honor and offers in their place a vision that opens up space for women and their agency.
This event will premiere LIVE at 7:30 PM EDT on Monday, NOVEMBER 16th. A recording of the livestream will be available until 7:00 PM EDT on Friday, NOVEMBER 20 - then it disappears. This is a FREE event, but advance reservations are recommended.
On Thursday NOVEMBER 19th at 7:30 PM EDT, there will be a free post-performance Bull Session, an interactive discussion with some of the artists involved along with scholars Barbara Fuchs and Marta Albalá Pelegrín, moderated by Nathan Winkelstein, Red Bull's Associate Artistic Director. Registrants will receive a link to participate.
