Las Amistades Peligrosas
Las Amistades Peligrosas: A Theatrical Masterpiece at the 43rd Málaga Theater Festival
Experience a profound exploration of power and manipulation this season at the iconic Teatro Cervantes. As a highlight of the 43rd Theater Festival, Producciones Come y Calla presents Las Amistades Peligrosas (Dangerous Liaisons). This production, based on the 1782 novel by Choderlos de Laclos and the celebrated 1985 adaptation by Christopher Hampton, brings a timeless story to the modern stage. On January 28 and 29, 2026, audiences can witness this gripping drama directed by David Serrano.
A Narrative That “Burns Like Ice”
The story follows Valmont and Merteuil, two fascinating protagonists described by Jean-Paul Sartre as having “no moral brakes”. Although the original work dates back centuries, director David Serrano highlights its striking relevance to contemporary scandals involving the abuse of power and the lack of consent. Furthermore, the play examines how the most powerful classes play with the lives of the less fortunate with total impunity. As Baudelaire once noted, it is a story that “burns like ice,” using love and sex as weapons of manipulation.
A Stellar Cast and Production
This production features a high-caliber cast, including Pilar Castro, Roberto Enríquez, Ángela Cremonte, and Carmen Balagué. Together, they bring to life the intricate web of deception and desire that marks the lives of the characters. Consequently, the performance offers a direct challenge to the audience to reflect on the nature of possession and the manipulation of feelings in today’s society.
In short, do not miss this intense 1-hour and 50-minute journey into the darker side of human nature. Secure your tickets now for a night of world-class theater in the heart of Málaga.
