MENDRUGO
Theatrical concert about a 16th century fool
Teatro Strappato & La Danserye
Mendrugo is one of the fools of Lope de Rueda, a simple naive, hungry and credulous, the great protagonist of the steps, the hors d’oeuvres that made famous the great actor and Sevillian dramatist of the sixteenth century.
The Teatro Strappato and Ensemble La Danserye join forces to give today’s audience a living memory of how those happy and fun parties that were held in the squares, in the markets and that people knew under the name of theater really were.
The live music with original instruments of the era, the leather masks of “Commedia dell’Arte” and a delicious selection of appetisers by Lope de Rueda are the protagonists of MENDRUGO, a theatrical concert in which fun is guaranteed, a journey in time, a production to remember a way of theater that has disappeared, an unforgettable show.
This show is the result of historical research on Renaissance music and theater carried out by La Danserye and Teatro Strappato. An authentic display of historical instruments, repertoire of the 16th century and masks that create a unique atmosphere.
* For reasons of historical rigor this show is available only in it’s original version in Spanish and is very adaptable to different stage spaces and technical conditions.
