From Thy Bounty

This comedic play is based almost entirely on an excerpt from El condenado por desconfiado (Damned for Despair) by Tirso de Molina, a Spanish Baroque dramatist and Roman Catholic monk from the 17th century.

Although the text was written in 1635, this selected monologue describes a hermit’s struggle between his faith and his gluttonous desires through humor.

Our reimagining of this text features a handcrafted rod puppet, translations by XX, and traditional Catholic iconography.
