Artes
de la Rosa
Cultivates the 2015 Season of Cultural Events With
RITMO:
Rhythm of the People
In
its ongoing mission to bring Latin art & culture to the North Texas
Community, Artes de la Rosa’s Artistic Director Adam Adolfo has designed a
season to bring to the Rose Marine Theater for the 2015 calendar a season
programs that he calls “RITMO: Rhythm of the People.”
When you stop to consider Latin people on the whole, we are an extremely musical and vibrant community. If you’ve ever talked to a “Spanish Mom” you know we don’t just talk with our voices, we sing! Simple conversation turns into dueling arias, not only with words but our hands, and certainly our hearts. The common denominator amongst the diverse Latin cultures of the world is music!
“Twelfth Night is Shakespeare’s most
musical play and I’m anxious to provide it the excitement of the Samba beat,”
says Adam Adolfo. Inspired by Baz Lurhman’s film Moulin Rouge and the musical episode of tv’s Grey’s Anatomy, Adolfo notes that he’s venturing into new
territory. “It’s exciting to do something new and different. As theatre makers,
if we are not ambitiously trying to break new ground, we might as well just
give up.” New and different is certainly the Artistic Directors style and he’s
promising that with creative reimagining of Man
of La Mancha. “I’m not ready to let the cat out of the bag yet on that
show, but I will say that I was inspired by Dallas Theatre Center’s production
of Les Miserables. It was daring,
provocative, and inspiring… it inspired me to look for another musical that
should be seen with fresh eyes. So I dug deep into Man of La Mancha’s book and
found a new way to look at the material that excites me to no end. It will
definitely be like no production you’ve seen before.”

Musical
Director: Kristin SpiresChoreographer: Maegan Marie Stewart
A
thrilling new production of one of the best loved musicals, Man of La Mancha vividly imagines Don Quixote through the life of
the great Spanish novelist Miguel de Cervantes. The musical moves seamlessly
between realities and Cervantes’s own outsized imagination, where his noble
idealism finds expression in his great literary creation, Don Quixote. With a heartfelt score that includes the
worldwide hit “The Impossible Dream” – Man of La Mancha is a testament to the
triumph of the human spirit. His dream is Everyman’s dream. His tilting at
windmills is Everyman’s great adventure. Somehow, the footlights disappear,
time is telescoped and the Man of La
Mancha speaks for humankind remaining with your soul well after the shows
final bow. Dare to dream the impossible!
