La Casa de los Espiritus

La Casa de los Espiritus is Caridad Svich's deeply entertaining, heart-breaking and surprising adaption of Isabelle Allende's novel. The production, originally performed at Repertorio Espanol directed by long-time Koch-collaborator Jose Zayas, has toured throughout Chile and played sold-out houses in Santiago, Chile, Washington, DC, and San Jose, Costa Rica. It is appropriate that a play spanning generations and parsing interpretations of morality, unique personality and love should have so many incarnations; each has been an opportunity to reexamine the relationship of projection to actors as a story-telling medium with a definitive point of view. The GALA Theatre production was featured in the 2013 May/June issue of American Theatre Magazine.
