Julia Alvarez at Repertorio Español

A new play based on Julia Alvarez’s epic fictional novel of real-life iconic poet Salomé Ureña de Henríquez. Born in the 1850s, in a time of intense political and emotional repression and turmoil, Salomé’s fervent patriotic poems turned her into a national icon. “In the Name of Salomé” is equally the story of Salomé’s daughter, Camila, who grows up in exile, in the shadow of her mother’s legend. Performed in Spanish with English subtitles via Simultext® In-Seat Captioning System. Please call 212 225 9999 to buy tickets with Simultaneous translation.
