This summer, Repertorio presents the Van Lier Young Directors’ Fellowship. This program gives an opportunity to talented young directors from New York City to show their creativity and skill. Be the first one to discover the directors of the future!
- POR GUSTO > Agosto 2 y 5.
Abel González’s “Por gusto” tells the story of four lovers- a teacher, a police officer, a philosophy professor and a painter. The action takes place in the city of Havana, Cuba during the 2000s. The themes of the play include coincidental causes, casual meetings, heartbreaks, sexuality, homosexuality, and the many risks involved in love and lovemaking.
- NOEL ROAD 25: A GENIUS LIKE US > Agosto 9, 11, 12, 16 y 17.
London, 1967. Joe Orton and Kenneth Halliwell’s murder and suicide ending an odd gay love story. Venture inside the artistic and passionate relationship, power and submission, that Kenneth Halliwell and the playwright Joe Orton lived in 25 Noel Road. Carlos Be goes beyond the known facts and explores the mysterious last days of this outrageous couple. Caja España Theatre Award 2001.
- EL COORDINADOR > Agosto 23, 24, 26, 30 y 31.
“The Facilitator” takes place in an elevator where four people must deal with the ambition and morals of the others. Shut in the elevator, they experience a collective desperation that results in the discovery of the true personality of each person when their fears and virtues come out to play in this game of survival. This, of course, causes many conflicts and reveals the eternal truths and contradictions about humans. Winning play of the 1993 Best Dramatic Text Award at the VII North American Chilean Institute’s Theater Festival and the 1994 Municipal Award for Literature in Theatre in Santiago, Chile.

A timely story about compromising moral values for the sake of getting rich quick. A Cuban man keeps his promise to bring a friend’s son to the United States. After the young immigrant gets a real taste of hard labor, he decides to accept a job offer as a director of a medical clinic conscious of the job’s dubious nature. He begins to enjoy the benefits of quick earned cash, but his world is turned upside down when he is arrested by the FBI accusing him of Medicaid fraud. After being released on probation, he realizes that he must make a difficult decision, whether to stay in the country and face prosecution or return to his former life in Cuba. Generational, political, and moral differences collide in this modern day drama written and directed by Yoshvani Medina.
Winning Play of the 2010 Nuestras Voces National Latino Plays Initiative.
* City Non-Specific > La Micro Theater > Fringe Festival >> Agosto 11, 13, 14, 16 y 19 > Fringe.
LaMicro Theater is proud to present City Non-Specific as part of the 16th annual New York International Fringe Festival-FringeNYC. City Non-Specific is a movement- dance piece that will be presented at Venue #15 The New School for Drama located at 151 Bank Street. City Non-Specific is a devised, ensemble-created piece that combines movement, dance, theater and multimedia. It is based on experiences of people living in a big city. The work is an exploration of conflicting and humorous situations that could occur in big city spaces and contexts. Behavioral gestures will be used to create short vignettes, reflecting moments of every day life. Life in a big city is full of anxiety, paranoia, stress and constant rushing around. In this piece we will take some of these moments and experiences and transform them with music, gestures, movements and texts.
* Black Milk > Absolute Russian Rawness > Hasta Agosto 4 > East 13th Street Theater > BLACK.
“When you get back to your capital, you can tell them how people live in Russia, ’cause they don’t have the faintest idea.” -- Black Milk
In Black Milk, Lyovchik and Poppet, a small-time crook and his heavily pregnant, chain-smoking, lollipop-sucking wife, descend on a post-Communist wasteland, swindling villagers out of their savings. The young couple sit stranded in a remote train station and as the night persists, the strange, cruel, and whimsical world of their homeland teaches them a lesson.

>> Into The Woods > July 23 - August 25
* EVITA > Open Ended > Teatro Marquis > EVITA.
El musical de TIM RICE y ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER, ganador de un premio Tony, vuelve a Broadway con la actuación de RICKY MARTIN (Les Misérables), ganador de un premio Grammy®, y ELENA ROGER (Piaf), ganadora de un premio Olivier, quien será la primera actriz argentina en protagonizar el rol de Evita en Broadway, y replica su representación extraordinaria que deslumbró la audiencia y la critica londinense en el West End. También con la participación de MICHAEL CERVERIS (Sweeney Todd), ganador de un premio Tony.
Eva Perón utilizó su inteligencia y carisma para ascender rápidamente desde un tugurio de Argentina hasta la residencia presidencial como Primera Dama. Adorada por su pueblo como la abanderada de los humildes, se convirtió en una de las mujeres más poderosas del mundo, mientras que su codicia, descomunal ambición y frágil salud la convirtieron en la más trágica. EVITA cuenta la apasionada e inolvidable historia verídica de Eva, y nos deleita con algunas de las canciones más hermosas del teatro, como "Don't Cry for Me Argentina," "Another Suitcase in Another Hall" y "High Flying, Adored."
* Leap of Faith > Con Raúl Esparza > Open Ended > Teatro St. James > LEAP.
Four-time Tony Award® nominee Raúl Esparza (Cabaret, Company) stars as Jonas Nightingale, an electrifying performer and rabble rouser who's planning to take the whole town for a ride. But when a small-town girl stops him in his tracks, this hustler may just discover something to believe in.
LEAP OF FAITH features a roof-raising new score by eight-time Oscar®-winning composer Alan Menken (Beauty and the Beast, Little Shop of Horrors).The creative team also includes bookwriters Janus Cercone and Tony®-winner Warren Leight (Side Man); Grammy®-winning lyricist Glenn Slater (Tangled); choreographer Sergio Trujillo (Jersey Boys); and Christopher Ashley, director of the Tony®-winning Best Musical Memphis.

Saulo García, author and performer, stated that “this show shares the stories of immigrants that finally understood that it is better to be “scraping by” in the United States than “scraping by” elsewhere; of those that already had their first foreclosure and learned to do those things that were inimaginable in their countries such as: paint the house, clean the roof with a water pressure machine or install a toilet in the bathroom.”
With outstanding humor, “La vida en los Esclavos Unidos” (Life in the United Slaves’) touches on themes such as the financial crisis, healthcare in the U.S.A., immigrants’ jobs and the lifelong trauma left after the interview for a visa at the U.S. Embassy. The production uses modern video projections to bridge the different episodes and themes.

“In The Time of the Butterflies” is the story of the courageous Mirabal sisters (Patria, Minerva and María Teresa) from the Dominican Republic. The sisters inspired resistance cells throughout the country against the dictatorial regime of Gen. Rafael Leónidas Trujillo. The ‘butterflies’, their secret code name, were brutally murdered by the regime in 1960.
Based on Julia Álvarez’s popular novel, the martyred butterflies come to vibrant life in a warm, brilliant, and dramatic production by the talented duo – playwright Caridad Svich and director José Zayas– that brought us the critically acclaimed production of Isabel Allende’s “The House of the Spirits” in 2009.

Visit the site for more info and tickets > PAM2012.
Here is a closer look at the 11 shows:
* An Encounter with "El Duende". A Multidisciplinary Music Performance by Sabrina Lastman.
Composed and performed by Sabrina Lastman. Arrangements from Federico Garcia Lorca’s songs.
About the Show:
A piece for voice, movement, sound, bowed psaltery, megaphone and visuals––all through Lorca's imagination.
Federico Garcia Lorca's eerily passionate world comes to life through a re-imagination of his written, visual, and musical artistry.
About the Artists:
Silence…breath…pitch…shout…melody…rhythm…broken…melody…word…emotion…text…motion…vibrates…dreams…caresses…sculpts…creates…paints…cuts…pushes…sounds…
Sound has the power to resonate in space and with people's inner world. The human voice communicates "stories”—with or without words—inspiring people and providing them awareness about different layers of the emotional, creative and social. We seek new ways to use the voice as an instrument, to expand the song form by developing new structures—at times using free improvisation. Our performances bring together sound, movement, theatricality elements & visuals.
Dates:
Friday, July 27, 2012 at 7:00pm
Wednesday, August 1, 2012 at 7:00pm
Language: Spanish with English Supertitles
Age: Teen and up
* Decime qué escuchás (Face the Music)
A Comedy of Mad-Manners. Written by Sol Pereyra
Directed by Gerardo Gudino
Dates:
Friday, July 27, 2012 at 10:00pm
Sunday, July 29, 2012 at 7:00pm
Language: Spanish with English Supertitles
Age: Teen and up
About the Show:
...a story of how Heavy Metal was transformed into a weapon of fire for psychoanalysis.
In this comedy of how two women submerged in the world of therapy try to decipher themselves, music conducts the conversation; it provokes the words that can be transformed in the strokes of a stabbing. Once the music is heard everything unravels, the memories, the relationships, the fears.
About the Artists:
Our mission is to bring the audience the opportunity to experience theater viscerally so that every production becomes a catalyst for reflection, the stimuli of deep emotions, the reason for deliberation, the cause that induces an effect, the spark that incites a change in the way we view the world.
* Taal Se Taal (Match your Rhythm to Mine)
A Dance Performance by The Kathak Ensemble & Friends/CARAVAN, Inc. Choreographed by Janaki Patrik & dancers
Dates:
Saturday, July 28, 2012 at 3:00pm
Sunday, July 29, 2012 at 3:00pm
Age: All Ages
About the Show:
Through Indian film songs, Kathak dance and English dialogue, stories of exotic romance, humorous liaisons and irresistible entanglements unfold.
In the Kathak Ensemble's 2012 production TAAL SE TAAL (Match Your Rhythm To Mine), Kathak dances to the beat of four very different drummers: Bollywood's lush orchestrations of classic Indian film songs, Mozart's Allegro from the Jupiter Symphony, finger cymbals and ankle bells, and American composers Samuel Barber and John Adams. Tender romance, humorous liaisons, complex entanglements and gracious interchanges unfold against shifting soundscapes––sometimes lyrical, sometimes ferociously fast, always irresistibly melodic.
About the Artists:
We communicate the richness of Indian culture through its arts, most specifically through the classical North Indian dance style Kathak, its storytelling techniques and its accompanying Hindustani music. Ensemble programs strive to create a dialogue with familiar American arts forms, demystifying unique details of Indian culture by illuminating features it shares with American culture.
* Montera
Written and performed by Loren Escandon
Directed by Marisol Rozo
Dates:
Saturday, July 28, 2012 at 7:00pm
Sunday, August 5, 2012 at 7:00pm
Language: Spanish with English Supertitles
Age: 13 and up
About the Show:
"I believe that sex is one of the most beautiful, natural and integral things that money can buy." --Tom Clancy.
A human analysis of the oldest profession throughout history and the most dehumanized profession in contemporary times. In a comical and fearless way, La Guri stimulates our observation of values in society by the reference of her profession. She shows us that there is a part of life that cannot be modified but that must simply be accepted––not with submission but with courage.
About the Artists:
By fusing the disciplines of theater and dance and so creating a distinctive physical theater—our mission is to get the audience to jump into a world of quotidian words that become a new language when they are incited by the movements on stage. We approach delicate and controversial issues in humorous and lighthearted ways that shine a new light on them.
* The Whistling Mortician
A Physical Theater Performance by Cloud Of Fools Theater Company. Written by Jon Froehlich and ensemble
Directed by Jon Froehlich
Dates:
Saturday, July 28, 2012 at 10:00pm
Sunday, August 5, 2012 at 3:00pm
Thursday, August 9, 2012 at 7:00pm
Language: English
Age: 9 and up
About the Show:
When the powers of death crop up at every turn, what else can one do...but whistle? Like the holy fools before him and the characters of Chaplin and Keaton a couple generations later, The Whistling Mortician postulates the life of a puckish Prussian laborer living in the hotbed of 1870's Alsace-Lorraine. One fateful day following the Franco-Prussian War, he whistles the wrong national anthem up and down the streets of his town––and directly into trouble. Fleeing to far-off countries, he engages in what promises to become the work of his life.
About the Artists:
We create powerfully embodied, deftly inquisitive, and richly entertaining containers which point to both the profound depth, and fundamental mysteriousness, of human nature. We also seek to embody the tensions of living as hilariously, tragically and stubbornly complex beings within a culture dominated by the rational mind. We are, therefore, a theatre of secrets which cannot be described, paths which may only be pointed to, and those universally shared elements of human reality which nonetheless operate in unsearchable darkness.
* Heart on a Dirty Platform
Choreographed by Darion Smith
Music by Jonathan Melville Pratt
Dates:
Thursday, August 2, 2012 at 7:00pm
Friday, August 3, 2012 at 10:00pm
Saturday, August 4, 2012 at 3:00pm
Age: Teen and up
About the Show:
A slice out of the urban scene for a closer a look at the need for love. Aside comical relief, moments of destitute, reflection and accomplishment shine through. The choreography paints a clear picture of the metropolitan subways in which a young woman experiences the throws of a relationship..Carefully crafted movements take the inhabitants of this urban platform through the comical yet absolute need for that four letter word: love.
About the Artists:
We look to the past for inspiration from the timeless works and traditions of dance and to the future for opportunities to create a unique artistic expression of our world. Our vision recognizes the importance of the performing arts in enriching the lives of all people and involves the collaborative creation of new works by resident and guest choreographers. Our ultimate goals are to explore and create new and lasting dance, to present works that engage a diverse audience, to provide performance opportunities for professional artists and give back to communities through educational programs.
* El correo de la noche (Night Delivery)

Language: In English with some Spanish
Age: 13 and up
About the Show:
...themes of real and imagined experiences of foreign cities at night, plunging into our fear of the unknown.
A bad dream about a first date on the first night of an ill-planned trip. Presented as a series of vignettes, dances, ruminations and games, the show mines the company’s real and imagined experiences of foreign cities at night, plunging into our fear of the unknown. Using multiple languages that are spoken, recorded, and projected, the piece exists between our need to communicate and the obstacles that keep us from doing so.
About the Artists:
We are an experimental theatre company making plays that move seamlessly between the irreverent and poetic, the personal and political, and the highly entertaining and intellectually challenging—inspired by Brecht’s view that to be challenged is also to be entertained. Based in New York City and working in both English and Spanish, our work includes new plays, classical adaptations and devised creations.
* Reincarnations (Dzul Dance)
Choreographed by Javier Dzul
Music by Sergio Reyes
Dates:
Friday, August 3, 2012 at 7:00pm
Saturday, August 4, 2012 at 7:00pm
Age: All Ages
About the Show:
Reincarnations portrays pre-Hispanic mythology alongside Mexican cultural icons and traditions to explore ideas of destiny and life after death.
The choreography is based ontwo souls that meet and form different relationships over the course of several lifetimes. Reincarnations highlights Ih Can Cavil, the Mayan guardian of souls, and Mexican icons such as Emiliano Zapata, Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera. The choreography also uses Day of the Dead (Dia de los Muertos) and ‘la Catrina’, the Mexican personification of death, as a way to explore different cultures’ ways of understanding mortality.
About the Artists:
We fuse dance with aerial arts to communicate indigenous pre-Hispanic and Mexican culture and create bridges between contemporary art and historical heritage. By transforming bodies into earthbound and airborne forces of nature we break physical, cultural and political boundaries.
* Nella Foresta (In the Forest)
A Puppetry Theater Performance
Dates:
Friday, August 10, 2012 at 7:00pm
Sunday, August 12, 2012 at 3:00pm
Language: Italian with English Supertitles
Age: Teen and up
About the Show:
...theatrical journey with life size puppets in which a man finds answers to life's questions through a fairytale forest in his mind.
How and where do we draw the line that separates normal from abnormal? How can we tell the difference between healthy imagination and dangerous fantasy? So it is that Marc is left at the mercy of educators that understand that fairytales have a power to help. In the forest and through fairytales, Marc must recognize the need to struggle against the severe difficulties in life. He must find the key to overcome them and find the answers to questions that afflict all of us: “who am I?” What am I doing here?
About the Artists:
We develop theatre research and work on classic and contemporary plays. We create a new language for each project. Thomas McEvilley said: "The search for the other is the search for the newness of one’s changing self.” For us, this is one of the goals of theatre. So it is that our rehearsals and workshops are open to the needs of the given moment, of each and every one particular production.
* Luz de mañana en un traje marrón (Dawn in a Brown Suit)
Written by Daniel Veronese
Directed by Leni Mendez

Friday, August 10, 2012 at 10:00pm
Saturday, August 11, 2012 at 10:00pm
Language: Spanish with English Supertitles
Age: 18 and up
About the Show:
...tragedy is a rosary of small woes that unravel on the sheets of a couple's bed.
All in all, things that happen, terrible things that happen: the small disintegrations of our daily life. A couple in a confined space, their desires, their frustrations, their longings. Tragedy is no longer an event of gigantic and universal proportions but rather a rosary of small woes with which our characters weave their lives. An inside look at a couple's daily life and its incurable disintegration.
About the Artists:
Our objective is to represent and promote artistic and cultural interests of a cosmopolitan nature. Theater, cinema, dance, music and plastic arts are utilized through an inclusive and multiethnic lens. We provoke the creation of an open space, a meeting point, exploration, fusion of new artistic languages incited by the cultural exchange fermented in New York City, whose cosmopolitan character makes it the ideal laboratory to create and “believe” art in this manner.
* La Quinta Luna (The Fifth Moon)
Choreographed by Sol Koeraus
Music by Cristian Puig
Dates:
Saturday, August 11, 2012 at 7:00pm
Sunday, August 12, 2012 at 7:00pm
Age: All Ages
About the Show:
...emotional journey though the art form of Flamenco and the power of the moon, the light in the darkness.
The moon is a feminine power. It is the supreme symbol of biological rhythms. Through flamenco, 4 young women are intertwined and represent the powers of the moon: hope, intuition, beauty and light in the darkness. Interpreted through sophisticated arrangements, lighting and emotion, the dancers take us on an emotional journey though the art form of Flamenco.
About the Artists:
We are dedicated to sharing our passion for the art, music and culture of Andalusia, Spain. We are recognized nationally for maintaining the ethnic richness of flamenco by presenting it in its traditional and modern forms to the New York community. Through high quality local, national and international artists we evoke the inspirations of Andalusian conventions.
