In collaboration with IRT Theater
Written and Directed by Normandy Sherwood and Craig Flanagin
Choreographed by Iliana Gauto of Ballet Panambí Vera
A spectacle with music, Madame Lynch takes on the picaresque story of Eliza Lynch, a 19th century woman whose fortunes took her from Irish potato famine refugee, to French courtesan, to the self-proclaimed "Empress of Paraguay". In collaboration with the Paraguayan folkloric dance group Ballet Panambí Vera, The Drunkard's Wife creates a multifaceted portrait of La Lynch as a way to understand the complex dynamics of cultural imperialism. The show reaches peaks of beauty and horror as it proceeds by way of live music, dance, and real and imagined scenes from her life as an adventuress, cultural doyenne, femme fatale and microfinance pioneer.
Featuring: Juliana Francis Kelly, Hannah Kallenbach, Nikki Calonge, Blaze Ferrer, Braulio Cruz, Mieko Gavia, Kevin Green and the dancers of Ballet Panambí Vera
Live band directed by Rachel Swaner
Running time: 75 min. with no intermission
