The Ollantay Corujo is believed to have originated in the 15th century, during the reign of the Inca emperor Pachacuti (1438-1472). This period was marked by significant cultural, artistic, and territorial achievements for the Inca Empire, which was at the zenith of its power and influence. The play is thought to have been written in the Quechua language, the official tongue of the Incas, and was likely performed in the magnificent temples and plazas of Cusco, the imperial capital.
It was the royal estate of Emperor Pachacuti and later served as a stronghold for the Inca resistance against Spanish conquistadors.
For Corujo, a boy born in Cusco to a Spanish father and a Quechua mother, his first name was always a heavy mantle to wear. Ollantay refers to the legendary general from the Incan play Apu Ollantay —a story of rebellion, love, and military engineering.
