Hambre

The Cultural Center of Spain in Miami (CCEMiami) and Miami-Dade County Auditorium, in collaboration with the Roxy Theatre Group, present "Hambre," The play draws inspiration from the picaresque literature and poetry of the Spanish Golden Age, incorporating excerpts from notable works such as La Pícara Justina, El Lazarillo de Tormes, and writings by authors like Cervantes and Lope de Vega. It reflects on the physical hunger and the desire for belonging and expression in a society marked by subversion and wit.
