Amor por Anexins

Amor por Anexins launched Artur de Azevedo onto the Brazilian stage in 1872, and audiences couldn't get enough. The one-act comedy proved so irresistible it was performed over a thousand times during the nineteenth century alone, establishing Azevedo as the country's leading dramatist. The play穿梭于恋爱中的男女、虚荣的父母和攀附的求婚者之间, using rapid dialogue and mistaken identities to expose the absurdities of love when money, status, and social climbing enter the equation. "Anexins" refers to those pesky attachments that bind lovers to their circumstances, family expectations, economic necessities, the weights that pull hearts in directions they never intended to go. It's a sparkling farce that treats its characters with affection even as it laughs at their pretensions. The play endures because its target never ages: the theatre of romance where hearts collide with hierarchies. Anyone who has ever loved someone their family wouldn't approve of will recognize themselves in these pages.
