A play about Human Rights violations suffered by those fighting for and communicating truth in the world.
Two journalists immerse into a world of violence where cruelty is a habit, impunity is routine, freedom a utopia, and telling the truth is the greatest risk.
Inspired by true events, the play addresses the issue of the relentless violation of human rights against journalists who strive to report the truth Paulina, a human rights journalist and a determined advocate for victims of femicide and indigenous ethnicities, has recently emerged from a coma after a brutal attack. To achieve justice, it is essential for her to recover her memory and reveal the truth. The only thing she remembers is that she has a mother and a daughter. Rodrigo, by her side, makes unimaginable efforts to assist her. The production premiered at the 3rd edition of the 2019 International Theater Festival in Chicago, at the Steppenwolf Theatre 1700. Unanimously, specialized critics considered it powerful and poetically stirring.
