Lope de Vega's

 

ARAUCO

 

Arauco is a masterwork play by Spain's greatest playwright, Lope de Vega.  The equal of any Shakespeare history play, Arauco is set at the very roots of the complex clash of cultures living at the heart of Latin identity in the Americas.

 

1557   An army lands on the coast of Chile.  At its head, a twenty one year old general, sent to regain control of Arauco, a region fiercely defended by the Mapuche people.  Three years earlier, the Mapuche destroyed the first wave of Spanish invaders killing their commander, Valdivia.  Now they must face a new invasion led by a youthful but seasoned campaigner.
