Buenos Aires theatergoers will have the opportunity to experience two new plays from the Bell Ville-based company, A Puro Teatro, next month. Directed by Silvia Rodríguez, the company will present “Qué habrá sido de ella” and “Dignamente” at Border Teatro in Palermo Soho on March 14th, offering audiences a compelling evening of thought-provoking drama.
A Puro Teatro has been steadily gaining recognition for its innovative and socially conscious productions. Rodríguez, who also penned both plays, brings a unique voice to the Argentine theater scene, tackling complex themes with sensitivity and artistic flair. The upcoming performances mark a significant step for the company, bringing their work to a prominent venue in the capital city.
The performances are scheduled for 8:00 PM and 9:30 PM at Border Teatro, located at Godoy Cruz 1838 in Palermo Soho. “Qué habrá sido de ella” delves into the pervasive issue of gender-based violence and the societal responses – or lack thereof – that often accompany it. “Dignamente,” explores the enduring power of dreams and the importance of living a life filled with purpose and dignity, regardless of age or circumstance.
