Al Son Que Me Toques @ Raven Theatre

I saw Al Son Que Me Toques, Lorca at the Latino Theatre Festival and really enjoyed it. Laura Crotte did a wonderful job directing and adapting this play. This evening, on my way back home I saw a glorious full moon and it reminded me of this production. Definitely worth checking out

The poetry and passion of Lorca's classic Blood Wedding (Bodas de Sangre) is relocated from the picturesque realm of rural Spain to the vibrant and colorful world of Veracruz, México. Adapted and directed by Laura Crotte, a Teatro Vista member, Al son que me toques, Lorca is performed in Spanish. With traditional music and dance, this inspired adaptation emanates the energy and spirit of Veracruz, while remaining loyal to Lorca's famous tragedy. A Flor De Piel and former members of Sones de México provide the music.
