"Some find a dear fulfillment, some denial
But this I say
That he who best
enjoys each passing day
is truly blest"

There’s something about Latin-American literature that combines fantasy, poetry and humanity in a way that leaps across the chasm of disbelief – this parable of passion and the sensuality of loneliness is no exception. Jose Rivera’s light-hearted, poetic script is suited to the intimate Stables Theatre, dealing as it does with matters of tenderness and lust, the personal and political intertwining of our everyday choices. Natural and expressionistic, the cast are in tune with the world of the play, they demonstrate the nuances between styles of performance that include mask, song, and dream within a poised narrative framework.
