Three ghosts meet in a theatre. The first ghost says… “Let me tell you a love story to die for…”
Flitting between storytelling and autofiction, three recently deceased actors take on the roles of political exile, medical pathologist and Sergio himself to recount one man’s search for meaning as he careens between a life changing decision and an unspeakable act of love.
Male desire, friendship and eroticism intertwine in this darkly comic metatheatrical new play about consent and legacy by Latin America’s most prominent living playwright that asks, can we learn how better to die? Can we learn how better to live?
