a Chilean bandit unjustly slain in California on 23 July 1853.
By PABLO NERUDA
Translated by WILLIS barnstoni Music by MICHAEL DRESS with Patrick Magee as the Voice of the Poet
Isabelle Lucas , Jane Manning Annie Ross and Mark Murphy
This is the first performance in English of one of the rare dramatic works by the great
Chilean poet, Pablo Neruda. who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1971. The work takes the form of a dramatic cantata of which Neruda has said that it is intended to be 'melodrama, opera and pantomime ' as well as a tragic poem. It tells, in chorus, verse, song and dramatic scenes, the story of a Chilean who came to California in the gold rush of 1849 but turned into a bandit when he saw that his countrymen were treated as second-class citizens by the Yankees.
