July 18 Charity performance of Gorky’s The Lower Depths in Aguilas
ARCHIVED ARTICLE -
This fund-raiser for the Acta2 Alliance medical research charity features a performance in Spanish of Maxim Gorky’s 1902 play “The Lower Depths” (Los Bajos Fondos in Spanish).
One of Gorjy’s first major successes, this is hardly sparky summer fare, depicting as it does a collection of impoverished Russians living in a shelter near the Volga with brutal realism and pessimism: however, the cause is a worthy one, namely research into a disease called Multisystemic smooth muscle dysfunction syndrome (MSMDS).
The curtain rises at 20.30 with tickets available online here or in person from the local archaeological museum and the Casa de Cultural Francisco Rabal at 10 euros each.
