Teatro Círculo from New York tackles raising an open-gender child in difficult times

Teatro Círculo’s production of ‘El espacio entremedias’ comes just as President Trump has promised that, under his administration, “the official policy of the United States government will be that there are only two genders, male and female.”

Celebrating the 10th year of CALLBACKseries, which promotes Latinx artists whose work had been previously produced at the developmental level and deserves to be “called back” for a new Main Stage presentation, ‘Los ciegos’ (The Blind), an emblematic play of European Symbolist theatre, immerses the spectator in a sensorial experience, where they feel part of what is happening on stage makes it to Teatro Círculo.

The play addresses the perspective of blind people in the 1880s and exposes the dismissal they suffer from those who can see.

Teatro Círculo, one of New York City’s leading Spanish-language theatre companies, is kicking off 2025 with El espacio entremedias (The Space in Between) by Spanish playwright Fernando Travesí, and directed by Leyma López, a Cuban director who has notoriously worked with Repertorio Español, Pregones/PRTT, and Teatro LATEA.

Teatro Círculo presents EL ESPACIO ENTREMEDIAS (The Space in Between) by Fernando Travesí, directed by Leyma López and performed by María Fontanals and Fernando Gazzaniga.

“When I read the first draft of El espacio entremedias several years ago, I thought it was a play ahead of its time,” says José Cheo Oliveras, Founding Artistic Director of Teatro Círculo.
