The Las Caretas del Paso Azul Theater Group celebrates ten years of success representing The Revenge of Don Mendo at the Guerra Theater (19/11/2018)

The Las Caretas Theater Group, belonging to the Brotherhood of Labradores, Paso Azul, turns ten and celebrates it in the best possible way: representing the first theatrical work with which the company premiered in 2008, The Revenge of Don Mendo.

In this way, El Paso Azul and the city of Lorca pay homage also to the author Pedro Muñoz Seca on the first centenary of the premiere of his most universal work.

The performance will be next Saturday, December 15, at 9:00 pm at the Teatro Guerra de Lorca, when 25 actors, many of whom will repeat their role 10 years later, will give life to the 36 characters of the play, adapted and directed by the blue butler Vicente Sánchez del Rey, who has presented the same along with the President of Paso Azul, José María Miñarro.

Written in Spanish dramatic poetry, the work is a parody of tragedy full of the ingenuity of its author.

In it, he demonstrates his mastery of both the verse, regardless of its typology, and the most varied humorous resources.

The combination of the most unusual rhymes together with Muñoz Seca's puns and skillful anachronisms will mean that, during almost two hours of performance, the spectators will be immersed in an almost continuous laugh characterized by the adventures of Don Mendo.

The story begins with the condemnation of Don Mendo, Marqués de Cabra and audacious medieval knight who, to protect the honor of his beloved, the beautiful Magdalena, pleads guilty to having entered his rooms with the intention of stealing, thus hiding his true intentions.

To prevent him from dying sandwich, several friends of the Marquis facilitate their escape and, from that moment, the gentleman will live a succession of adventures and, also, begin his revenge.

The tickets, already on sale at the Blue Museum of Holy Week (MASS), are available at a price of 10 euros in an armchair and stalls numbered and 5 euros in amphitheater and general unnumbered.

The representation, organized by the Paso Azul and the Paso Azul Foundation, also has the collaboration of the Department of Culture of the Hon.

City Council of Lorca, Teatro Guerra and Sercosan.

Theater Group "Las Caretas", 10 years of history

It was the year 2008 when several members of Paso Azul decided to bet on an initiative that, today, has become a social revolution since not only has managed to penetrate within the Brotherhood of Labradores, Paso Azul, but it has managed to reach the whole Lorca society.

During these ten years, the Company has worked hard, has increased its participation and has managed to position itself and stand out as a cultural reference in Lorca thanks to activities such as the dramatized visits to the Blue Museum of Holy Week, MASS, on the occasion of the celebration of the Day International Museum or the traditional representation of La Noche del Tenorio, which every year manages to surpass the record of attendance, in addition to works like Cirio in the Grand Hotel, represented in the War Theater with great success in the year 2017.

An influx of public that becomes a prize for the more than fifty people who make up the cast of actors and the technical team that joins the good times lived during the preparation and rehearsals and that leaves nerves behind, all the efforts and the work involved in designing and making the costumes and scenery to achieve, for a few hours, the viewer travels in time and feel part of the work itself.
