THE DELICATE TEARS OF THE WANING MOON

Written by Rebeca Alemán

Directed by Iraida Tapias

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.

Today, while some sleep, a journalist is murdered only for telling the truth.
to be informed is a right. to inform is a duty – Rebeca_Alemán

“Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers”.
Article 19 – The Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
