Today’s Argentinean Theater Mon. Oct. 4 (6:30 PM) Andar sin Pensamiento (Thoughtless Walking) by Jorge Huertas Directed by Mario Marcel (In Spanish Only!) Embassy of Argentina –  Oval Salon 1600 New Hampshire Ave., NW Washington, DC 20009 Andar sin Pensamiento (Thoughtless Walking): Love, always Love. Necessary and complex love with its difficulties: breaking up, making up, self-centeredness. The three protagonists, Atilio, Carmencita and Johnny live and relive the fire of passion – at times without knowing it – with humor and surprises. Tango, bolero and Spanish and Latin American poetry bubble from their lips during this strange, final night: an encounter that is never casual, that we long for, but that we equally hope does not expose our own follies. A discussion will follow the playreading between the audience, actors and director. The evening will culminate with a Vin d’honneur. TICKETS: PAY-WHAT-YOU-CAN!
