“Wonders of beauty and wonders of perfection; living beauty” Javier Villán, El Mundo
Bartolomé de Torres Naharro, despite being one of the most fundamental authors in the history of Spanish theatre and the dramaturg whose works were widely spread thorughout 16th Century… nowadays is a huge unkown on the stage.
The celebration of the 500 Aniversary of the publication of the Propalladia, a compilation of his plays whose Promhemio constitutes the first theatrical required in romance language, its a big occasssion to recuperate this huge dramaturg who, conssidering the necessity to joint praxis and theory, initiated a new Renaissance-comedy.
Nao d’Amores and the National Classical Theatre Company take part in this important conmemoration, approaching in common this staging of Comedia Aquilana. A delicious comedy, that revolve around the loves of Aquilano Knight and Felicina the Princess, daughther of Bermudo the King; this play has been considered the firs romantic play of Spanish theatre.
