"Hypnotizing! Poetic!" -The Village Voice

Columbus, OH - New York City's Repertorio Español makes its Columbus debut Friday, October 12, at 7:30 p.m. at The Ohio State University's Wexner Center Mershon Auditorium, when it will present famed Colombian author Gabriel García Márquez's "Crónica de una Muerte Anunciada" (Chronicle of a Death Foretold).

The production brings to life one of García Márquez's best known works that displays his brilliance. Chronicle of a Death Foretold is a murder mystery and also an exploration of human nature and the power of the collective over the individual. The recipient of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1982, García Márquez is one of the leading Latin American authors of our time. The production company, Repertorio Español, includes actors with roots in Colombia, Argentina, Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic.

Chronicle of a Death Foretold will provide a unique opportunity to enjoy a live theatrical performance in Columbus staged completely in Spanish, with an audio English translation available with special headphones, which can be requested at the time of ticket purchase. Repertorio Español was founded in 1968 and has made it its mission to bring theatre to broad audiences. The event is organized by the Hispanic/Latino community at The Ohio State University in an effort to provide diverse Latino experiences for the university community and Central Ohio.
