Manuelita

Lover, confidant and rebellious, the "Amable Loca" Manuela Sáenz emerges from the shadows and raises the curtain to show the truth. Manuelita is the Ecuadorian heroine and revolutionary who stole the heart of the Liberator Simón Bolívar to become the Liberator of the Liberator.

After a triumphant tour of Latin America in 2017 and two successful seasons in London and Edinburgh, actress Tamsin Clarke, trained at the Lecoq school in Paris, is inspired by her Anglo-Venezuelan roots to tell us this story of love, loss and revolution.

Combining narrative, physical theatre, comedy and live music by Colombian guitarist Camilo Menjura (Latin American Musician of the Year in the UK in 2014), Manuelita promises to be a visit to the theater full of music and seduction.
