Since its premiere in 1965, Requiem for Yarini<\/strong> has been considered a classic and is one of the most respected texts in Cuban drama. Written by Carlos Felipe and initially directed by Gilda Hern\u00e1ndez for the Conjunto Dram\u00e1tico Nacional, it reinvents the myth of Alberto Yarini, the famous pimp and king of San Isidro, one of Havana’s most celebrated legends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his play, Carlos Felipe reimagines Yarini as Alejandro Yarini, placing him at the center of a court of prostitutes, pimps, and confidants on the day when his life is most threatened. Beside him is La Jab\u00e1, his right hand; before him, La Santiaguera, the woman he loves; and Lotot, the only rival who dares confront him. Fate, fatality, and tragic error converge in this narrative, which has been staged by numerous directors and adapted for television and other media, demonstrating the enduring interest in Carlos Felipe’s work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The poster for the play was designed by Roberto Ramos Mori.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
