Late Autumn Production
THE HOUSE OF THE SPIRITS/LA CASA DE LOS ESPIRÍTUS
(suitable for ages 16+, no recomendada para menores de 16)
By Caridad Svich after Isabel Allende
“I realized Caridad had captured the spirit of the book, the story of a country reflected through a family…..I love that.” – Isabel Allende
“The House of the Spirits,” published in 1982, is a National Bestseller and Isabel Allende’s debut novel which catapulted her to literary stardom. When Isabel Allende’s novel first appeared on the international literary scene, it was widely heralded as a feminist response to Gabriel García Marquez’s “One Hundred Years of Solitude”; it continues to this day to captivate readers across the world as it has been translated in over 20 languages.
Charting the rise and fall of the Trueba family in an un-named Latin American country (reminiscent of Chile), Caridad Svich’s play spans the 1920s through the 1970s, as the country moves through enormous sociopolitical changes that culminate in a devastating dictatorship. The play is told from the sensorial point of view of the youngest of three generation of women, Alba, who is held as the play opens, in a torture room by the government. The swirling memories, frightening and amusing, lyrical and fantastic, illuminate the stage as Alba records her family’s history and ultimately finds the strength to recover her own story. This new re-imagining of “The House of the Spirits” is a bold and daring theatre piece that captures the force and sensuality of Allende’s vision through Caridad Svich’s unique poetic spirit.

” Me di cuenta de que Caridad había capturado el espíritu del libro, la historia de un país reflejado a través de una familia….. y eso me encanta.”- Isabel Allende
La Casa de los Espíritus, publicada en 1982, es un National Bestseller que catapultó Isabela Allende al estrellato literario. Cuando la novela de Isabel Allende apareció por primera vez en la escena literaria internacional, fue anunciada como una respuesta feminista a los “Cien años de soledad” de Gabriel García Márquez; hasta ahora ha cautivado a los lectores de todo el mundo, ya que se ha traducido a más de 20 idiomas.
Describe el ascenso y la caída de la familia Trueba en un país latinoamericano sin nombre (que recuerda a Chile), la obra de Caridad Svich abarca desde la década de 1920 hasta la de 1970, a medida que el país avanza a través de enormes cambios sociopolíticos que culminan en una dictadura devastadora. La obra se cuenta desde el punto de vista sensorial de la más joven de las tres generaciones de mujeres, Alba, que se encuentra detenida cuando comienza la obra, en una sala de tortura del gobierno. Los recuerdos vertiginosos, aterradores, divertidos, líricos y fantásticos, iluminan el escenario mientras Alba registra la historia de su familia y finalmente encuentra la fuerza para recuperar su propia historia. Esta nueva reinvención de “La casa de los espíritus” es una obra teatral audaz que captura la fuerza y la sensualidad de la visión de Allende a través del espíritu poético único de Caridad Svich.
