A 16-year-old girl named Marianela struggles to live a life with happiness, sleeping between two baskets in the home of Señor and Señora Ana Centeño.
The man she guides throughout Socartes, an optimistic blind man named Pablo Penáguilas, expresses his love for her, and so does Marianela.
Despite this, Pablo is given a life-changing opportunity by Don Teodoro Golfín.
However, this opportunity could be at the cost of Marianela's life.
Marianela, though, is given a life-changing opportunity of her own: to escape Socartes with her foster brother Celipín.
Florentina, Pablo’s cousin visiting Socartes, battles her father, Manuel, on what it means to be a woman of society.
Manuel, Don Carlos (Teodoro’s brother), Sofía (Carlos’ wife), Don Francisco (Pablo’s father), Don Teodoro, and all of the characters bring about conversations on idealism versus materialism, social class politics, adoption reform, and mental health.
Their story is an uplifting musical tragedy on love, opportunity, and change: La Nela De Socartes.
La Nela De Socartes is the musical adaptation of Marianela by Benito Perez Galdos with English translation by Clara Bell and book, music, lyrics, and orchestrations by Greggory Nekrasovas and Massimiliano Cicio in their theatrical debut.
The production premiered virtually November 27- December 6, 2020, received audience acclaim for its music, cast performances, and storytelling.
From September 14-25, La Nela De Socartes will have its New York virtual premiere at the Rochester Fringe Festival in its efforts towards achieving a stage premiere. Ticket information will be announced at a later date.
