Sanborn Hall | Jemison Auditorium

The Morfeo Teatro theater company presents “El Coloquio de los Perros,” in Jemison Auditorium inside Ohio Wesleyan’s Sanborn Hall, 23 Elizabeth St., Delaware. The play is based on the 1613 novel of the same name by Miguel de Cervantes, which revolves around a conversation between two dogs discussing their adventures and misfortunes. The play, adapted and directed by Francisco Negro of Morfeo Teatro, takes place in the 17th century and was aesthetically inspired by paintings created by El Greco and Diego Velázquez. In the play, Cervantes’ characters are transformed into men – a ragged gentleman and a beggar whose life is worse than a stray dog’s.

The event is hosted by Ohio Wesleyan’s Department of World Languages & Cultures and VIVA Latinx, OWU's Latin-American culture group. It is made possible by a Mellon Foundation Language Grant awarded to Ohio Wesleyan’s Glenda Y. Nieto-Cuebas, Ph.D., and Denison University’s Francisco López-Martín, Ph.D. For more information, contact Nieto-Cuebas at gynietoc@owu.edu.
