\"\"<\/a>Editor’s Note: There is still time left to see this play recently unearthed by UO Latin American studies director Pedro Garc\u00eda-Caro. The director is UO doctoral candidate Olga Sanchez Saltveit, who is a 2018-19 CLLAS Graduate Student Research Grant awardee. Ticket info<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

From Around the O<\/em>:<\/strong> University Theatre is putting on the first-ever English translation of a 1789 Spanish Enlightenment comedy that looks at Latino culture and racial classification in the New World.<\/p>\n

The play, \u201cTricks to Inherit: A Nephew and his Uncle,\u201d originally was written by Ferm\u00edn de Reygadas in Mexico City and was recently unearthed by UO Latin American studies director Pedro Garc\u00eda-Caro.<\/p>\n

Shortly after its transcription, director and UO doctoral candidate Olga Sanchez Saltveit translated the play into English and added a modern flair to illuminate the play\u2019s complex themes.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s part of reclaiming Hispanic history in California,\u201d Sanchez Saltveit said. \u201cI think it\u2019s in keeping with the kind of theater that matters.\u201d<\/p>\n

Students and community members will be able to see Sanchez Saltveit\u2019s adaptation, \u201cTricks to Inherit,\u201d<\/a> at Robinson Theater May 25-26, June 1-3 and June 8-9. UO students are admitted free by claiming tickets at the box office one hour before the show.<\/p>\n

Sanchez Saltveit introduces a modern flare by setting her play in 1796 in Alta California, a region that included much of what is now the American Southwest, at the first-ever showing of Ferm\u00edn de Reygadas\u2019 play. The approach means almost every actor is playing two roles to create a play-within-a-play format.<\/p>\n

Originally, Sanchez Saltveit was only planning on translating and directing Reygadas\u2019 play; however, the adaptation was done to frame where the play is taking place as well as the systemic imbalances at work in the 1700s.<\/p>\n

Nearly one year after Reygadas\u2019 play was written it was banned by the viceregal censor due to its obscene language and social commentary. Sanchez Saltveit hopes to bring that social commentary to life in her adaptation.<\/p>\n

The play\u2019s cast is composed entirely of student actors, except for a special guest appearance from a UO faculty member\u2019s 10-year-old daughter.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re all great, funny, talented and spectacular people. Excellent acting,\u201d Sanchez Saltveit said.<\/p>\n

At intermission of most performances, a live band will take the stage. The Taller de Son Jarocho is a local Eugene art collective that celebrates the culture and tradition of Mexico through music and art.<\/p>\n

The band has also recorded songs that will be featured as background music throughout the play.<\/p>\n

Sanchez Saltveit hopes the entertaining and light-hearted nature of the show will help viewers understand the unfair racial dynamics of the past.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe things we\u2019re suffering from today, the intense amount of racism and misogyny, is deep-rooted,\u201d Sanchez Saltveit said.  \u201cSo, what we\u2019re looking at here is the roots of our American injustice, in the framework of a comedy.\u201d<\/p>\n
