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).
