    Shot and developed in Bogotá, ¡El Conquistador! is a hilarious and ingenious mash of live theater and film. Thaddeus Phillips portrays Polonio, a doorman whose peaceful days spent conjuring up his make-believe telenovela stardom become ensnared in the nefarious plots of the building’s residents. With video-only residents portrayed by actual Latin American telenovela stars (including the famed Víctor Mallarino), there are beautiful women, dangerous criminals, illicit love affairs, long lost twins, and fate in the form of a frying pan. ¡El Conquistador! is performed in Spanish with English supertitles. Previous Live Arts Festival shows: The MeLTING BRiDgE (2008) and Flamingo/ Winnebago (2007). ¡El Conquistador! was co-produced by Ysarca Arts Promotions (Spain) and New York Theatre Workshop in collaboration with Lucidity Suitcase Intercontinental. Initial funding was provided by The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage through the Philadelphia Theatre Initiative and the Jim Henson Foundation.
