Marking the 400th death anniversary of Miguel de Cervantes, the great Spanish novelist, poet and playwright and also the creator of the famous novel Don Quixote, the Inditex Chair of Spanish Language and Culture at the University of Dhaka is bringing to Bangladesh the theatre company from the University of Valle from Cali, Colombia.
This prestigious university company will perform an adapted version of The Dialogue of the Dogs, one of the most personal and original stories from Exemplary Novels by Miguel de Cervantes.
The play will be presented twice: on March 11 at the National Theater Hall, Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy, and on March 16 at the TSC of Dhaka University. Both shows are free for all.
In the play, we find a curious fact - the main characters are two dogs that talk among themselves. The testimony of this unusual dialogue is brought to us by a patient, that was confined in a hospital, listens to the conversation of the dogs.
The Dialogue turns into a brutal and valuable portrait of ethical, religious, social and artistic values of the 17th century.
