Els Joglars “El retablo de las maravillas”

An event at the 49th El Ejido Theatre Festival.

“El Retablo de las Maravillas’ by Cervantes remains surprisingly relevant today. The play shows how the fear of going against the majority allows charlatans and tricksters to sell us ‘nothing’ as if it were valuable.”

Today, social media, the press, and figures of power amplify these situations: we continue to be deceived out of fear of being different, while the most honest are ignored. With humour and critique, the play shows how vanity, social pressure, and superstition still shape human behavior, just as in Cervantes’ time, reminding us that foolishness and manipulation never expire
