Juan Darien
Composer:Elliot Goldenthal
Librettist:Horacio Quiroga
Synopsis
Based on a modern fable of the same name by Horacio Quiroga, Juan Darien is set in the jungle in South America, with a jaunty skeletal Death ever present. Its story concerns an orphaned jaguar cub who is miraculously transformed into a human child by the compassion of a woman who has lost her own baby; the boy must then confront the savagery of human civilization. The production employs masked actors and puppets, and the score includes elements of Latin American folk music and the Requiem Mass.
