TOUR OF

LA CAÍDA DE RAFAEL TRUJILLO

By Carmen Rivera

Directed by Cándido Tirado

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.

June 2023

Performed in Spanish with overtitles in English

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.
