Producciones El Brujo (Madrid) presents the comedy EL ASNO DE ORO, by Lucio Apuleyo, starring Rafael Álvarez El Brujo, on Friday, January 27 at 9 pm at the Teatro Villa de Molina (on Avenida del Chorrico, No 10).
The ticket price is 15 euros.
The Golden Ass is an amazing story.
Its author, Lucio Apuleyo, along with Petronio, is considered like one of the parents of the novel in Rome.
The influence of his work is immense in posterity, especially since the Renaissance.
From San Agustín, Marlowe or Milton passing through Shakespeare, Gracian, Cervantes or Lope de Vega, to Ionesco and Kafka, or Ruleus, Goya and Rodin, his footprint is constant in Western artistic creation.
It is considered a bridge in the mentality and the oriental culture and its language is loaded with symbolism, rhythm, beauty and polysémicas intentions.
The protagonist, Lucio, become an ass, lives with his human soul in the interior of an animal body a long time to recover its human form again with the light now of a new birth.
It is a story of fall and redemption, of crisis and conversion.
Beyond entertainment and fun, which are essential in a show, The Golden Ass adds the vision of the universality of the values ​​and meanings of great works: in the second century after Christ the learned, sensitive and pious pagans Sought the realization of the spirit through the most varied religious and philosophical syncretism, while Christianity shed its light on the world. Would a living theater be possible, connecting with today's public, speaking of the world today, and at the same time Of a great life against which nothing can death, since that life includes life itself and death?
At least it's worth a try.
