From the dark and twisted mind of Mexican composer, playwright and seven-time New York indie theater festival winner Christian De Gré Cárdenas comes another volume of Twisted Operelas, a one night only intimate return to Joe’s Pub, 27 years in the making. Featuring longtime collaborators Emma Grimsley, fresh from her acclaimed title role in Heartbeat Opera’s “vital, magnificently performed” MANON!; Tony Mowatt, back for another Joe’s Pub concert after the New York International Fringe Festival award winning Jack of Hearts, Master of None; and Metropolitan Opera tenor Bernard Holcomb, praised by The New York Times for his “appealing sweetness and clarity”; joined by special guest Bethany Geraghty, returning as the force behind the kind and cruel Lucine. Together, they open the vault on De Gré Cárdenas’ strange, surreal, twisted and deeply human theatrical tapestry, looking back just long enough to reveal what comes next.

“Evokes Burton’s “Nightmare”, a creepy-carnival vibe. Simply put, it’s twisted and wonderful.” –Time Out New York

De la mente oscura y torcida del compositor, escritor y siete veces ganador en festivales de teatro independiente en Nueva York, Christian De Gré Cárdenas, llega un nuevo volumen de **Twisted Operelas**, un regreso íntimo a Joe’s Pub por una sola noche, con 27 años de música detrás. Lo acompañan colaboradores de muchos años: Emma Grimsley, recién aclamada en el papel titular de **MANON!** de Heartbeat Opera, descrita como “vital, magníficamente interpretada”; Tony Mowatt, de vuelta en otro concierto de Joe’s Pub después de protagonizar **Jack of Hearts, Master of None**, obra ganadora del New York International Fringe Festival; y Bernard Holcomb, tenor de la Metropolitan Opera, elogiado por The New York Times por su “dulzura y claridad”; junto a la artista invitada Bethany Geraghty, quien regresa como la fuerza detrás de Lucine, tan bondadosa como cruel. Juntos abren el baúl del universo teatral de De Gré Cárdenas: extraño, surreal, oscuro y profundamente humano, mirando hacia atrás apenas lo suficiente para revelar lo que viene.

“Evoca el ‘Nightmare’ de Burton, con vibra de carnaval tenebroso. En pocas palabras, es retorcido y maravilloso.” –Time Out New York
