An eclipse. A mother's death. A terrifying prophecy: the newborn Prince will be a tyrant that kills his own father. The king hides his son away in a prison to prevent the oracle's promise. But in doing so, 
is he actually the cause of the prince's tyrannical nature? One of the greatest works from the Spanish Golden Age in a new staging by professor Dora Arreola asks if it is nature or nurture that make us 
who we are.
