#COSER Y CANTAR DOLORES PRIDA ANALISIS FULL#
SHE: (in affected excitement) Oh! All the recent discoveries collected in this single volume … how marvelous! The day half-gone and I have crammed my head full of knowledge … But so much to be done. She returns to her chair and resumes her reading in silence.ĮLLA: (glaring in the darkness) ¿Qué es tan malo de cantar? ¡Al menos sé cómo divertirme! Todo lo que hace es leer, leer, leer algunas tonterías que nunca conducen a nada. After a while, SHE makes an irritated noise and turns off the record player, cutting off ELLA’s singing in mid-sentence. SHE is reading Psychology Today magazine. ELLA is slowly humming along to the song as she combs her hair. ELLA and SHE are each sitting in their half of the stage, their faces obscured under the dim lighting. In the dark we hear “Qué sabes tú”, a recording by Olga Guillot. This play must NEVER be performed in just one language. The two women, ELLA and SHE, are one and are playing a verbal, emotional game of ping pong. This piece is an adaptation of Cuban-American playwright Dolores Prida’s Coser y cantar. A large conch and a pair of maracas are visible. ELLA’s table is crowded with cosmetics, a figurine of the Virgen de la Caridad and a candle.
