Theatre Y's "The Beautiful Days of Aranjuez"

The show opens this Saturday, June 13th, at 7:30pm, and runs through Sunday, July 19th, with Thursday, Friday, and Saturday performances at 7:30pm, and Sunday matinee performances at 2:00pm.

The Beautiful Days of Aranjuez is a voluptuous prose-poem for the stage between a Man and a Woman, two ‘figures’ in the heart of a bucolic garden in the heart of high summer—something of an eternity, something of an irretrievable moment.It is not a drama that occurs between them, but a summer dialogue that proceeds by way of interrogation-play. The mysteries of eroticism and nature surface in their incursions into untold memories, silent happenings that for the first time demand a language.In Handke’s text, amorous attraction is transfigured into metaphysical desire; a game of questions becomes a game of passions, and this play of passion becomes a world of poetic images as sensuous as the soundscape of the outside world: premonitory and encroaching.With a singular dramaturgical approach, this latest of Handke’s plays is a sterling interrogation of how and what we talk about when we talk about love.For further information, please go to http://www.theatre-y.com/Tickets can be purchased online at http://theatre-y.ticketleap.com/the-beautiful-days-of-aranjuez/
