This famous playwright has shocked Dallas audiences in the past with powerful plays such as Water and Volver. Mr. Urtusástegui was awarded the keys of the City of Dallas in 1992 when he came to see the controversial and highly entertaining production of Water performed by, among other local actors, Julio Cedillo, Phyllis Cicero and Barbara Bierbrier. Mark Lowery of the Fort Worth Star Telegram said of Volver: “It’s an emotional tango brimming with jealousy and one-up man ship, happy and painful memories joy, regret and sensuality. There’s a wonderful sisterly chemistry between the two actresses”
Sex or No Sex: Ésta es la Cuestión, will be performed by Nelson Pérez, a Venezuelan actor. Mr. Pérez was recently seen in Teatro Dallas’ 13th International Theater Festival in February 2008. He is a theater professor in Barquisimeto, Venezuela, and is the founder of Venezuela’s National Youth Theater and the Lara Professional Theater Company.
Sex or No Sex: Ésta es la Cuestión is a comedy about a man who is giving a conference about sex. He claims his conference has nothing to do with pornography, while paralleling all the organs and anatomy and functions of man and woman. Through this interesting and amusing comparisons, he comments with surprise on the insistence of many of his friends on how, history, mythology, food and anything we do, even politics and war, have a sexual content.
Don’t miss this great comedy by Urtusástegui who brings to surface situations and laughable truths about relationships between men and women. Performed in Spanish with English librettos.
