Destiny of Desire

Destiny of Desire is a co-production with Denver Center Theatre Company and Center Theatre Group. Delight in every scandalous plot twist and epic love story of this vibrant, brilliantly funny, and completely unapologetic homage to the telenovela. On a stormy night in Bellarica, Mexico, two baby girls are born — one into outlandish wealth, and one into a life of poverty. When the newborns are swapped by a ruthless ex-beauty queen, the stage is set for two outrageous misfortunes to grow into an extraordinary destiny. Karen Zacarías' hilarious hit, Destiny of Desire, has everything you love about telenovelas, while bursting with Brechtian interludes, Shakespearian-style antics, and live music — even if you've never watched a telenovela, you'll know why it's one of the most popular forms of storytelling on the planet. The production runs at DCPA's The Wolf Theatre (LORT B) in Denver, Colorado, and at Center Theatre Group's Mark Taper Forum (LORT A) in Los Angeles, California.
