About the Show

Latinx theater company IATI Theater Todo Vanguardia presents their 50th Anniversary production, an imaginative, genre-hopping allegorical drama examining the legacy of state terrorism in Latin America.

The Haberdasher, The Girl Bellboy, and The Queen of Anvondalia are the only remaining inhabitants of the Grand Hotel (in the capitol city of an unnamed South American country) that was abandoned in the wake of the recent revolution. Cocooned from the daily chaos outside, the three do their best to create a life of civility, order, and even elegance. Then, a new guest arrives. He's an American.

Intense, Relevant, Angry, Disturbing, Masterful

See it if Three latinos getting by in a wartorn country are visited by an abusive American. Magical mirror on indignity, revenge, and “disappearance”

Don't see it if You don’t want to better understand latin american suffering, compounded by the USA. Nasty abuse scenes with a sexual tilt. Read more

Great writing, Absorbing, Skillful, Impressive, Riveting

See it if you love it when taking chances on unknown playwrights pays off big time! Hints of Beckett, Lewis Carroll, but still easily understood

Don't see it if you’re turned off by slightly symbolist plays, don’t question US attitudes in foreign affairs, want an account of a specific Latinx conflict Read more

Critic Reviews (1)

"A must-see, not only for its harrowing subject matter but for its superior direction and for its exceptional cast. It is also the play's blend of the surreal, magical realism, along with the very real, marbled throughout with mind-triggering allusions and mystery, all of which serve to keep the audience riveted to the stage. Talk about the playwright and cast cautiously walking a wobbly tightrope with not a misstep in view."
