The Incredible and Sad Tale of Innocent Eréndira and Her Heartless Grandmother @ German State Theatre Timișoara
The Incredible and Sad Tale of Innocent Eréndira and Her Heartless Grandmother – by Gabriel García Márquez – Directed by Yuri Kordonsky
The play tells the story of Eréndira, who, at only fourteen years old, is forced into prostitution by her grandmother, who blames her for burning down their house.
While hundreds of men line up outside Eréndira’s tent, the grandmother negotiates the price and counts the money. Ulises, young and beautiful like an angel, desires her too. After their escape attempts fail, the two lovers plan a murder. "The Incredible and Sad Tale of Innocent Eréndira and Her Heartless Grandmother" is considered one of Gabriel García Márquez’s most moving stories.
Some motifs from the masterpiece "One Hundred Years of Solitude" are intertwined with themes of guilt and redemption, love, and death. A Nobel Prize-winning author, an exceptional director who also adapts the text for the stage, and an acclaimed ensemble bring to life a magical world where reality and fantasy merge.
