Amor de don Perlimpl\u00edn con Belisa en su jard\u00edn (The Love of Don Perlimpl\u00edn and Belisa in the garden. Erotic alleluia in four scenes (Chamber version)<\/em> is a farce in which the grotesque constantly contrasts with the lyrical. It is told in four scenes.<\/p>\n

The first<\/strong> introduces us to Don Perlimpl\u00edn with his maid, Marcolfa. She convinces him that he should marry his neighbor Belisa. He proposes from the balcony and her mother accepts quickly, surely seduced by the financial situation of Don Perlimpl\u00edn, although he is much older and the bride and groom do not love each other.<\/p>\n

The second scene <\/strong>shows the wedding night. The protagonist falls in love with Belisa when he sees her naked through a slot in a door. Some goblins come out and hide the scene, the impotence of Don Perlimpl\u00edn and Belisa’s infidelity. When the curtain that had hidden the scene is drawn back, the protagonist has large deer antlers on his head and the five balconies in the background are open. Although he realizes what has happened, he is happy to have fallen in love with Belisa.<\/p>\n

In the third scene<\/strong> Perlimpl\u00edn prepares the denouement with Marcolfa. Belisa is looking for a mysterious lover and her husband consoles her. Don Perlimpl\u00edn encourages her to tell him her sorrows, tells her that he knows her lover, pretends he has just seen him and goes out after him.<\/p>\n

\"Announcement<\/a>
Announcement of the Second Conference of Anti-fascist Intellectuals. Tribute to Federico Garc\u00eda Lorca, where The Love of Don Perlimpl\u00edn with Belisa in the garden was performed, with Mar\u00eda Teresa Le\u00f3n and Santiago Onta\u00f1\u00f3n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In the fourth and last scene,<\/strong> the protagonist appears again with his maid Marcolfa preparing everything. He sends a note supposedly from the lover to Belisa to meet him in the courtyard at ten o’clock at night. Belisa goes, but he is not there. Perlimpl\u00edn, when the agreed time comes, disappears behind the wall ready to kill him. Shortly afterwards, a mysterious man dressed in red enters the scene, with his face covered and a wound in his heart. He falls to the ground as Belisa’s mysterious lover. Belisa uncovers his face, discovering that Perlimplin was the man she had fallen in love with.<\/p>\n

As the author informs to Fern\u00e1ndez Almagro<\/a> in a 1926 letter, his protagonist, Don Perlimpl\u00edn, traditionally ugly and hunchbacked, comes from the “rough engravings and grotesque couplets” of an alleluia, or alleluias, from his childhood. It is also a variation on Cervantes’ theme of the young woman married to an old man (although Don Perlimpl\u00edn is only fifty years old).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":7459,"template":"","genero_obra_literaria":[102],"class_list":["post-7895","obra_literaria","type-obra_literaria","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","genero_obra_literaria-theater"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.universolorca.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/obra_literaria\/7895"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.universolorca.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/obra_literaria"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.universolorca.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/obra_literaria"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.universolorca.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7459"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.universolorca.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7895"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"genero_obra_literaria","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.universolorca.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/genero_obra_literaria?post=7895"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
