Lorca adapted for mask theater winner of the Best Supporting Actrss Golden Hedgehog Award, 2016

A well-read and refined aging bachelor isolates himself from the world with his books. His maid and societal conventions push Don Perlimplín into marriage with a bride who is his complete opposite – young, passionate, and full of desire. In Scapino ensemble’s current interpretation, this classic comedy turns tragic under the manipulative orchestration of the two masked MCs, duendes (demons) who juggle between two worldviews: one, physical-materialistic dealing with lust and sensual satisfaction, and the other ideal-moralistic, eternal. All this is aimed at gratifying the audience and, of course, to meet the required ratings. So, who will be the next gladiators?
