Headline and summary by local AI
Sebastián Rubio and Yanira Dávila will present their production, The Corner of the Dead, in Bucharest this month as part of Arcub’s International Theatre Season.
The performance features actor Ricardo Bromley, who shares his family history and his role as a danzante de tijeras, a traditional performer of the Scissors Dance from Peru. The artists developed the project in 2022 during social protests in Peru.
The work explores the Ayacucho region, a place named in the Quechua language meaning corner of the dead. It combines documentary theater, dance, and traditional song to examine how the past shapes the present and the legacy of previous generations. The production premiered in São Paulo in 2024 before moving to Lima in 2025. Following shows in Chile and Ecuador in 2026, the play will perform in Bucharest on November 14 and November 15.
The first performance includes a question and answer session moderated by Radu Apostol.
