ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
Summary of the plot:
A dreamlike and surreal universe, where four characters, among the thousands in a big city, collide, ignore each other or love each other, rave, idealize each other. Bebe Dom, a dreamy, frustrated architect, gets drunk, drinks in a solitude without beginning or end; Farges, the banker, is Lili’s father, while Gea, Farges’ secretary, loves Bebe Dom in sublime dreams. The authors propose crossed couples in the middle of skulls of the night, beggars, plagues and robberies, people who work and people who do not work, in the underworld of any big city on the planet. And above all is Alma Ciudad, a spoken character, ignored by the four actors in the drama, who do not know of her existence, while she takes on various aspects, including that of a television presenter, who communicates with the public. And then there is life, which bleeds through thieves and murderers, drugs and death, homeless people and street vendors, who in small or large groups cross and give meaning and movement to the great city, with an almost cinematic vibration, according to the stage director’s imagination. If the city revives, enjoys or bleeds from Thursday to Saturday when the play takes place, Sunday opens up hope for the future. Something is saved, symbolized by the presence of two children, who close the story. (Source: Pola Suárez Urtubey)
