Havanafama en New York: Balada de un Vernano

  • The Clemente Center 107 Suffolk Street New York, NY, 10002 United States (map)

Havanafama Theatrical Co. and Teatro LATEA are proud to present two plays by the esteemed cuban playwright, Hector Santiago: 

Saturday, 14th of March @ 8:00pm: La Diva en la Octava Casa, a farce with vampiric overtones in which a legendary diva maintains, year after year, her eternal beauty and irresistible power. To achieve this, she summons secretaries with particular qualities: young, brilliant, and capable of imitating her perfectly. But when the new secretary discovers the secret hidden behind her immortal charm, the power game takes an unexpected turn.

Sunday, 15th of March @ 5:00pm: Balada de un Verano,  an intimate and deeply familial human story. Santiago returns to his childhood home after years of absence, confronting his sister Teresa and the memories of a past marked by rejection and silence. Among hidden letters, irreparable losses, and old wounds, the siblings reunite at a moment when pain gives way to forgiveness.

Both plays are performed entirely in Spanish. After Sunday's performance, we invite you to a special reception celebrating the career of  Héctor Santiago. There will be food and beverages, and the opportunity to share and connect with fellow artists and friends of the latin american theater community.

Tickets are $30 and can be purchased at https://teatrolatea.org/events/  or at the door the day of the performance.
