About the Play:
A simple
and strange flight, from laughter to tears, love to lunacy, life to
death, of a man who seeks freedom through justice and love, in a
desperate race to find his identity and forgotten kindness.

About the Play:
Might it
be a realistic fantasy or perhaps fantastic realism… magic reality… it’s
very likely! In fact, after more than 500 years, we still haven’t found
the heart of the matter. Whatever. Something was discovered… even though
it was never concealed.

About the Play:
Four
students get together one night in cramped quarters to work on an essay
about Chekhov’s The Seagull and they become submerged in a delirious
journey about their own personal experiences, memories, qualms, dreams,
and desires. They confront their personal demons from the past, present
and future as well as their fears and hopes. Their characters serve as a
vehicle not only for universal theater, but also for Peruvian theater
and fragments of human dreams begin to form a new ARKADINA, TREPLEV,
NINA and SONIA.
