EL CLUB DE LOS POETAS MUERTOS

At the strict Welton Academy, the arrival of Professor John Keating marks a turning point. With his unconventional methods and the cry of “Carpe Diem”, Keating inspires his students to love poetry and to seek their own voice beyond rigid social rules. The boys decide to revive the “Dead Poets Society”, a clandestine space where they explore their deepest dreams and desires. But the awakening of their consciences will clash head-on with parental expectations and school authority, unleashing a tragic struggle for individual freedom. A vibrant story about the importance of living with passion and authenticity.

Dead Poets Society is a stage adaptation by Tom Schulman, who won an Oscar for the screenplay of the unforgettable film of the same title. The Spanish translation is by Juan Luis Iborra, who also directs this production. He takes on the challenge of bringing to the stage, with a cast led by Juanjo Artero, that 1989 film which had such a powerful impact on society and was met with extraordinary critical and popular acclaim. Now more than ever, let us climb onto the desk and cry out loud: O Captain! My Captain!
