About the Show

The New York premiere of Luis Araújo's play about capitalism, greed, seduction, and power.

In a free market society, where citizens must still question how free they truly are, a shady lawyer and an immigrant sex worker negotiate while weighing their own values with the value that a capitalist society places on them.

Following a Spanish premiere, and a Puerto Rico run, the play comes to New York City for its stateside premiere. Please note, the show will be performed in Spanish with English super-titles.

Thought-provoking, Raunchy, Didactic, Edgy, Phenomenal performances

See it if you are willing to watch actors in grueling roles graphically depicting the relationship of sex and power.

Don't see it if watching extreme sexual situations makes you uncomfortable. No total nudity but sadomasochism with attendant philosophic arguments.

Disappointing, Excruciating, Edgy

See it if You are interested in the portrayal of a nihilistic point of view which includes porn

Don't see it if you are not interested in an existential didactic treatise on the current evils of a market-driven system. you are turned off by SM sex

100

Hilarious, Great acting, Funny, Absorbing

See it if If you want to see great actors on scene and want to get a good idea about how manipulation and money can be the most destructive.

Don't see it if You don’t like explicit language and hot scenes that might be offensive

Critic Reviews (1)

"Pou and Gudiño both conjure fierce, ferociously committed performances that cause the production's tautly directed 75-minutes to fly by. The so-called free market may not be so great, but 'Mercado Libre' is fantastic."
