An utterly human play, directed by Varnavas Kyriazis, that investigates the norms of a society that does not dare to face its reflection.
More about the event:
«(It's) my favourite play, and the one I dedicated to my father on account of everything I do not know about him. It is a text through which I wished to talk about fortune and unfulfilled love, our decisions and responsibilities» (Juan Carlos Rubio, playwright)
The death of his father obliges to David to take over his legacy. Among his father’s possessions, he finds something unexpected: love letters from another man. Puzzled by the discovery, he decides to visit the alleged lover of his father and find out the truth.
A profoundly human and moving duet, which was nominated for Best Play (2005) by the New York Drama Critics Circle, directed by Varnavas Kyriazis. The play investigates identities and reveals secrets, which disrupt the norms of a deeply conservative society that survives shielded behind the lies that maintain unequal treatment. It echoes, ironically, the «progress» that can only be found in human rights’ declarations, far from the reality of those who are suppressed under the principles and convictions of others.
