 | | The story, a little-known film version of which was made by Francesco Rosi, concerns a bride who fails to produce the necessary "stain of honor" on her wedding night, and the bloody murder that her shamed brothers commit in revenge. |
 | | "Chronicle" invites comparison to the single example of this type of theater in which everything worked: Julie Taymor's "Juan Darien," another play with music (by Elliot Goldenthal) that used life-size puppets, tiny figurines, actors and an enchanting story to make magic realism come shimmeringly alive on the stage. |
 | | With its interwoven themes of lust, honor and social responsibility, Gabriel Garcia Marquez's "Chronicle of a Death Foretold" provides an irresistible framework for Graciela Daniele, a director/choreographer in love with tango music, tango dancers and other popular manifestations of Latin heat. |
