The Arabian Nights
In Las mil noches y una noche, Mario Vargas Llosa introduces us to Scheherazade, one of the most seductive and enduring literary characters in all languages and cultures. "There is no simpler and more luminous parable in the history of literature than that of Scheherazade and Shahryar to explain the raison d'être of fiction in the lives of human beings. For Scheherazade, telling stories that capture the King's attention is a matter of life or death. If Shahryar loses interest or gets bored with her stories, she will be handed over to the executioner at dawn. This mortal danger sharpens her imagination and leads her, unknowingly, to discover that the world of fiction is, like the real world, one, diverse, and unbreakable. When King Shahryar pardons his wife, he is someone whom stories have transformed into a civilized, sensitive, and dreamy being." The figure of the storyteller, theater, and reading merge in this version of the great classic of literature, which was performed in Madrid, Seville, and Tenerife. |
