Bard, a sound journey through the world of Shakespeare

The Warped Prince is a monologue written by Juan Radrigán, a prominent playwright who died in October of this year. The play investigates the humanity of one of Shakespeare's best-known villains: Richard III. Radrigán shows him already dead, alone on the battlefield, in front of a door that separates him from eternity. There he wonders what is on the other side and fears his own voice.

This text is one of the two that make up Bardo, a sound journey through the world of Shakespeare, a sound theater experience directed by María Jesús González and performed by José Soza and María Elena Duvauchelle. The other work is Human Remains, by Florencia Martínez, which delves into the character of the Duchess of York, mother of Richard III, placing her as a beggar who goes to recognize the remains of her son, discovered in 2012 in a parking lot in Leicester. Bardo…, sponsored by The British Council, is perceived exclusively through sound, with headphones and blindfolded. 

The intervention is inclusive in nature, allowing the participation of people with visual and motor disabilities.
