A Rose of Two Scents this March 11th

The Latino Cultural Group Alebríje presents a comedy by the Mexican playwright Emilio Carballido, “A Rose of Two Scents.” Sunday, March 11. 6:00pm. East Quad Auditorium of the Residential College of UM, Ann Arbor, MI.

“A Rose of Two Scents” is undoubtedly one of the most frequently performed comedies in the world. Czechoslovakia, Spain, France, Germany, Argentina, Colombia, and México are just some of the many countries that have acclaimed this play.

Theme: “Two women meet in the waiting room of a jail. One of them is cultured and refined. Enjoys reading a good book. Speaks English and French. The other one is extroverted, vulgar, and speaks in slang. Owns a beauty parlor. Both are there to pay bail …. the first, for her husband, and the second, for her lover.”

This subtle comedy, with deep themes and interesting plot twists, remains current today in spite of having been written more than two decades ago, thanks to the playwright's masterful weaving of his characters' contradictory complexity.

Tickets are $10 in advance (general admission). Alebríje is a multifaceted cultural group that performs works in Spanish, including theater, poetry, songs, puppetry, as well as Mexican folk and traditional dance, starting its activities in 2003 in the Ann Arbor-Ypsilanti area. It is an independent group that enjoys celebrating, preserving, and sharing Latino-American culture and traditions.

El Grupo Cultural Alebríje se complace en presentar un espectáculo teatral titulado: "Rosa de dos Aromas". Una hilarante Comedia del prestigiado dramaturgo Mexicano Emilio Carballido, que se llevará a cabo el próximo 11 de Marzo a las 6:00pm. Auditorio East Quad del Residencial College de la U of M. Ann Arbor, MI.

Rosa de dos Aromas es sin lugar a dudas la Comedia más representada en el mundo. Checoslovaquia, España, Alemania, Francia, Argentina, Colombia y por supuesto México, son solo algunos de los muchos Países que han aclamado esta magnífica obra.

Dos mujeres se conocen en la antesala de la cárcel. Una de ellas es culta y refinada. Gusta de la buena lectura. Habla Inglés y Francés. La otra es vulgar, extrovertida, mal hablada. Dueña de un salón de Belleza. Ambas han llegado ahí para tramitar la liberación ……. la primera de su esposo, y la segunda de su amante"

Una Comedia fina y sutil de profunda temática e interesante anécdota, que a pesar de haber sido escrita hace más de dos décadas, no pierde vigencia, gracias a la maestría con que el autor tejió la complejidad contradictoria de los personajes. Los boletos en Pre-venta tienen un costo general de $10.
