Juan descends into a series of nightmares, where he must confront his fears and his identity.
Playwright Manuel Ortiz Ossandon re-envisions Calderón de la Barca’s “Life is a Dream” and places us, not in Segismundo’s tower, but in Juan’s small New York City apartment, where Juan falls into a chaotic array of dream sequences that force him to confront all of his deepest anxieties about being a queer, Latin immigrant in the United States.
This dark, absurdist show encourages us to face how often things we make up can go toe to toe with the real world we live in.
