De aventuras están llenas estas selvas (S)

For 400 years, no one has dared to perform "The House of Jealousy and Jungles of Ardenia". And that is for a reason. Great experts considered this comedy by Miguel de Cervantes a nonsense; the critics were very critical of it after its publication and several theater professionals confirmed that the staging was unfeasible. But the feeling prevailed that this work by Cervantes -the most universal writer of the Spanish language- could not remain in oblivion. At the Fundación Juan March, a team led by Ernesto Arias set out to finally perform it on the professional circuit, as part of the "Guest Playwright" initiative. This documentary tells the story of their foray into the jungles of a forgotten Cervantes comedy.
