Leonor gave her heart to Don Juan, only to be jilted by broken promises. To restore her honor and bring him to justice, she follows him to the Spanish Netherlands in male disguise as Don Leonardo. Outwitting her flagrant former lover (and everyone else), Leonor slowly unfolds her revenge plot, pushing past geographical boundaries, gender barriers and class differences as a wild cast of characters plays into her hands. From the pen of Ana Caro, a celebrated poet and playwright of the Spanish Golden Age, Valor captures the spirit of comedy and the rapture of romance while interrogating 17th-century notions of masculinity, nobility and honor through a radical vision of women’s agency. Production with the 2022 company of the Guthrie Experience relaunched under the direction of Maija García.
