About the Show

In Argentinean playwright Arístides Vargas's drama, two women in exile find themselves on strange land where the past, present and future all collide. LATEA Theater presents this English-language world premiere.

Catalina faces imminent death, while Miranda accompanies her in her final hours. They share real and imagined memories of their past, and find in each other a community to help illuminate themes of immigration, gendered violence, religion, and the loneliness of political and spiritual exile. Funny, moving, and thoroughly poetic, 'The Waters of Friendship' is a love letter to friendship and solidarity.

Surreal, Touching, Not fully comprehensible, Well played, Long

See it if you're a fan of Surrealism & would like to see an example of it written by an important contemporary South American playwright.

Don't see it if you do not like plays with non-linear plots that leave you with as many questions as they answer. Read more

Confusing, Great staging, Clever, Great acting, Slow

See it if you like surreal presentations with well used staging performed by two energetic actors. It was entertaining but left me wondering!

Don't see it if you want a linear play. Additionally the seating is not the most comfortable, the room temperature fluctuated and external noise intervened!
