El Gallo: opera for actors
Teatro de Ciertos Habitantes with MAVerick Ensemble: El Gallo: opera for actors
Rescheduled to April 2011
MCA Global Stage series
El Gallo is an engrossing experimental theater performance in which the production process is the core of the story. A music director and six singers push themselves to the limits of an audition and rehearsal. As the characters abandon their deepest inhibitions, they find themselves teetering between unforeseen situations and true moments of euphoria. Sung entirely in an invented language, the performance features a score by British composer Paul Barker, performed live by Chicago’s MAVerick Ensemble. This marks the second appearance on the MCA Stage by Mexico City-based Teatro de Ciertos Habitantes after the March 2009 performance of Monsters and Prodigies: A History of the Castrati. El Gallo is presented as part of the Mexico 2010 Festival.
