Charting the rise and fall of the Trueba family in an un-named Latin American
country (reminiscent of Chile), the piece spans the 1920s through the 1970s, as
the country moves through enormous sociopolitical changes that culminate in a
devastating dictatorship.

sus dos maridos
By Jorge Amado
Directed by Jorge Alí Triana
With Francisco Gattorno as Vadinho, Pedro Serka as Teodoro and Selenis Leyva or
Denise Quiñones, Miss Universe 2001, as Flor.
"Raucous and bawdy, Repertorio Español's production of "Doña
Flor and Her Two Husbands" begins with a bang: carnival in
Bahía...exuberant music and dancing...colorful costumes...two
fine leading men...The matinee-idol-handsome Francisco
Gattorno makes Vadinho tender as well as a lout; and Pedro
Serka balances Teodoro's dignity with shy sweetness..The
party onstage was contagious!" -The New York Times
"The party arrived...a sensual feast and a joyful celebration
for all of us to enjoy....the production, scenery, music,
costumes, lights and choreography are excellent... the actors
are wonderful, all of them...Selenis Leyva and Denise Quiñones
offer us two great performances...very different...it's worth it
to see them both." -El Diario La Prensa
Doña Flor misses her late husband's passionate intimacy. She re-marries and
magical realism allows her to live (and sleep) with her two husbands. A colorful
adaptation of Brazilian Jorge Amado's masterpiece.
