The play of theater and contemporary dance, ‘Hysteria: The Salem Trials’ opens this Monday, April 4 at the Ignacio A. Pane Municipal Theater, at 9:00 p.m. Tickets cost 55,000 Gs.
The plot is set in Salem, Massachusetts, in 1692, where a strict community stifled by the rules of the Puritan Church is involved in a dark and sinister chaos caused by a group of young girls who claim that several people in the town have agreed with the Devil.
Faced with these terrible accusations, the local authorities summon higher strata to determine the cause of a series of events that appear to be supernatural.
Hysteria takes over the minds and wills of all the people in town, starting a deadly “Witch Hunt”.
Created and directed by the dancer and choreographer, Félix Álvarez, based on “The Crucible” by Arthur Miller, it features performances by Omar Mareco, Larissa Gómez, Diro Romero, Ronald Maluff, Maitée Miltos, and the acting and dramaturgical accompaniment of Jorge Baez.
