ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE

Two operatic vignettes adapted from texts by Federico García Lorca. The Parting (Quimera) tells of a man who is leaving his wife and children to go on a journey. He’s accompanied by a mysterious old man and it’s not clear where they’re going or if they’re coming back. Buster’s Trip (El paseo de Buster Keaton) features a tongue-in-cheek brainstorming session to develop a screenplay for Buster Keaton. He cycles and he walks through the countryside. Clearly, he’ll get up to all kinds of mischief and the feds will make their usual appearance. But will he fall for his leading lady? The Music Troupe celebrates its 10th anniversary this year with this surreal double-bill.
