TEATRO EN EL BLANCO: DICIEMBRE

Wed – Sat, Feb 24 – 27 | 8:30pm

Roy and Edna Disney/CalArts Theater

“One of the most brazen plays of Latin American theater in recent years.”

-Festival Internacional de Buenos Aires

Set in Santiago on Christmas Eve 2014 with the nation at war in the Andes, a young soldier returns home on a 24-hour leave to celebrate the holiday with his pregnant twin sisters. From Chilean writer-director Guillermo Calderón comes the politically charged drama peppered with surprising doses of pitch-black comedy. Performed in Spanish with English supertitles.
