REVIVAL OF
LA CAÍDA DE RAFAEL TRUJILLO
By Carmen Rivera
Directed by Cándido Tirado
After seven years, Teatro Círculo brings back La caída de Rafael Trujillo. Its author Carmen Rivera, opens a window to the complex psyche of Rafael Trujillo Molina, the controversial ruler of the Dominican Republic who ruled his country with an iron fist for more than 30 years.
From April 14 to April 30, 2023
Performed in Spanish with overtitles in English
At Chain Theatre, 312 West 36th Street, 3rd Floor, NYC
This play portrays a series of events–internal uprisings, betrayal, international pressures, and political intrigue, as well as the personal failures that led to the downfall of Rafael Leonidas Trujillo Molina.
Delving into the last phase of Trujillo’s life, the play, based on historical facts and punctuated with Rivera’s inimitable creative narrative, tells a moving story of a man whose desire for absolute power poisoned his humanity and terrorized a nation.
