Play in Spanish with English subtitlles

Do you know the love story between the two great Puerto Rican poets

Julia de Burgos and Luis Llorens Torres?

Now you will find out!!!!!!! Yours always, Julita arrives in New York!

The grand premiere of the new version of “Tuya siempre, Julita” written by Roberto-Ramos Perea arrives in New York thanks to Barrio Independent Productions. Much has been said about Julia de Burgos, her poetry and her tragic life. However, history continues to surprise us with new findings about her lovers and her struggle to become what she eventually was and continues to be, the greatest Puerto Rican national poet in our entire history.

“Tuya siempre, Julita” was published for the first time in 1993 and following its publication and subsequent presentations of this work where the hypothetical love relationship between Julia and the poet Luis Llorens Torres was presented, there were many comments of astonishment, especially from Julia scholars who thought that this relationship was just gossip. However, after thorough studies, it was proven that not only was this relationship a reality, but also that the poetry of both poets reflected traits of a kind of mutual plagiarism.

“On both sides there are arrows of mysterious origin that, if looked closely, return to us the passion overshadowed by the sad and desolate attitude towards life, the dramatic difference in age and the possible, and perhaps probable, envy between colleagues. He envies that, on second thought, she could have been born of a deep mutual admiration and respect, evident in her intimate roles. She is in turn, she must have been sabotaged by carnal desire, boredom and guilt. Quote Roberto-Ramos Perea.

Under the co-direction of Amneris Morales and Iván Goris, Belange Rodríguez will play Julia de Burgos while José Cheo Oliveras will play Luis Llorens Torres and Caridad del Valle will play La Gringa, a mysterious character that embodies the dark side of both poets. The play will be presented on June 13, 14, 15 and 16 at the Teatro Miriam Colón at Julia de Burgos Cultural Center (1680 Lexington Ave. New York NY 10029) and will have English subtitles. The author of the piece himself, Roberto-Ramos Perea, will be in New York to share with the audience.

Get your ticket and don't miss the secret love life between these two poets... Julia de Burgos and Luis Llorens Torres naked, exchanging their intoxicated breaths and winks, caressing each other to the rhythm of the waves of the sea and plagiarizing each other's verses.
