THEATRE

Harvard College Teatro Presents
Jardín de Pulpos
Written by Arístides Vargas
Directed by Gabriela Bortolamedi
Produced by Francisco N. Alvarez


Join us for TEATRO's first production by a Latin American playwright! Inspired by the unjust murders of the many students whose corpses were thrown into the sea during the 1970's dictatorship in Argentina, Vargas proposes another way of constructing historical memory: dreaming. On a desolate beach, a young man has lost his memory. He meets a quirky madwoman who promises to help him regain his memory by remembering into the future, by dreaming! The Latin American imaginary thus comes to be reconstructed and appropriated by us through our most intimate dreams and desires. Desire becomes identity, and our dreams become our memories in this world in which the most magical things are the most real.

The play will be presented entirely in Spanish though proficiency in the language is not needed to understand and enjoy the show.

Tuesday-Thursday, December 1, 2, 3 - 8pm
