Pregones Theater, Bronx

An Original Ensemble Play

Pregones/PRTT’s ¡San Miguel, Amarra Tu Perro! (Tie Up Your Dog!), an original ensemble play with live music, first premiered in 1998. The production brings together seven renowned insurgent belletrists of the Spanish Caribbean — Ramón Emeterio Betances, Segundo Ruiz Belvis, Eugenio María de Hostos, José Martí, Luisa Capetillo, Pedro Albizu Campos, and Juan Antonio Corretjer — gifted orators and writers who, though they lived across different eras and held varying political philosophies, placed the inherent dignity, freedom, equality, and potential of human beings at the center of their work. Today, when racialized, migrant, trans, and made-poor communities are again vilified and hunted, Tie Up Your Dog! is especially urgent.

Directed by Jorge B. Merced with musical direction by Desmar Guevara.
