Madrid Fair

By Felix Lope de Vega

Their love at first sight leads them into a whirlwind of misunderstandings and intrigues. Because Patricio, her husband, is an impulsive and violent man... A brilliant tragicomedy by Lope de Vega (the greatest playwright of the Spanish golden century, recognized as an inspiration for Molière), adapted and performed for the first time in France. The power of this text lies in its disorientation. The spectator plunges into the Madrid of the Renaissance. A Madrid fantasized by Lope de Vega with the eyes of a contemporary troupe, which offers the public a literary escape and a whiff of youth, and discovers this language and this style which is at the source of popular theatre, at the origin of the great classic comedy.
