‘Burro’, a monologue based on classic texts about donkeys
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

 

From 17 January to 18 February, the Teatro Reina Victoria in Madrid presents Burro (Donkey), starring actor Carlos Hipólito, a tragicomic monologue with live music inspired by literary masterpieces that revolve around donkeys.

 

Donkey is the story of a donkey tied to a stake in his last moments, but the donkey in this show has lived centuries and has seen and knows everything that has been written and sung about them. So he talks and tells and sings and his shadow attends him and sometimes answers him and so he spends his days bucolic but full of wisdom and pain.

 

The play is a monologue based on classical texts about donkeys, featuring excerpts from Apuleius’ The Golden Ass; Miguel de Cervantes’ Don Quixote; William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream; Juan Ramón Jiménez’ Platero y yo; Asseskin, by Charles Perrault; Mass of the Ass and Testament of the Ass (anonymous); Disputation of the Ass, by Fray Anselmo de Turmeda; La Burromaquia, by Gabriel Álvarez de Toledo; Metamorphosis, by Ovid, and Fables by Aesop, Phaedrus, La Fontaine, Iriarte and Samaniego.
