The Passion of Pedro Camacho

A Devised Show inspired on a novel - in development

In a 1950s radio station, somewhere in Latin America, Pedro Camacho writes and directs a series of novelas, radio soap operas, which capture the mood of the times as well as his own fascination with others. Witness both the comedy and tragedy of Camacho and his regular cast of actors as the stories gradually reflect their own relationships in ways that are both surprising and ultimately life-affirming.

This is the first time André Pink (Dende’s Artistic Director) will collaborate with Mark O’Thomas who was a Dende core member till 2008. Mark has translated, written, adapted and devised several shows for the company. They will work with 10 actors on a 4-day R&D devising a show based on the novel Aunt Julia and the scriptwriter by the Peruvian Mario Vargas Llosa. This will the first stage of what could be a new Dende show for 2016.
