The Experience
Foro Off Spring is at Av. Francisco Pimentel 14, San Rafael neighbourhood, a few minutes' walk from Metro San Cosme (Line 2), and it is a small-capacity space designed for close-up theater. On Thursdays the 7:30 pm show is the only one of the night, so you can arrive calmly after work or school. Afterwards, the San Rafael neighbourhood offers cafes, bars and small restaurants a few streets from the venue.
About the Play
King Lear and His Fool, also announced as Lear and the Fool, is the Thursday offering at Foro Off Spring. The play works around the axis of the king and his fool, the pairing that theatrical tradition uses to hold power and its critique together: the one who rules and the only one who can tell him the truth. The performance runs every Thursday at 7:30 pm at this small-capacity venue in the San Rafael neighbourhood, where the audience follows the stage from close by, and the run is weekly with no end date: there is no single date, it repeats every week. Entry works on a voluntary conscious contribution, the venue's cooperative model. This listing will be expanded as the production shares more details about the staging and the cast.
