The couple's fears soon escalate to paranoia, conspiracy theories, and twisted psychological motives that disrupt any attempt at normalcy. A Tracy Letts cult classic, Bug explores the darkness in the void.Read more

El Corazón del Incauto

Teatro Loft

El Corazón del Incauto

Dramaturgas: Sandra Franzen & Patricia Suárez; Directora: Georgina Palencia

"El corazón del incauto" es un drama poético y punzante que se sumerge en lo más profundo del deseo, la identidad y el sacrificio. En un rincón rural de la Argentina de los años '20, una pareja campesina teje sueños de familia y redención, mientras la verdad se abre paso como una herida imposible de suturar. Lo que comienza como un anhelo de amor y pertenencia se transforma en una danza entre la ternura y la traición, donde cada puntada en un vestido revela los hilos ocultos de lo prohibido. Una historia conmovedora que late con el pulso de quienes se atreven a amar más allá de las normas.

"The Heart of the Gullible" is a poetic and piercing drama that plunges into the depths of desire, identity, and sacrifice. Set in rural Argentina in the 1920s, a farming couple weaves dreams of family and redemption, while truth emerges like a wound too deep to mend. What begins as a yearning for love and belonging transforms into a dance between tenderness and betrayal, where each stitch in a dress unveils forbidden threads. A moving tale that beats with the pulse of those brave enough to love beyond the rules.

Dramaturgo: Arístides Vargas; Directora: Georgina Palencia

Nuestra Señora de las Nubes
Una travesía mágica entre la memoria y el olvido, donde los exiliados inventan sus patrias y los recuerdos son la única tierra posible. En este pueblo suspendido en el aire, las casas tiemblan de soledad, las flores brotan en las ramas secas de la nostalgia y los corazones laten al ritmo de amores imposibles.

A través de diálogos cargados de humor, ternura y dolor, descubrirás que en la absurda belleza de lo cotidiano habitan las más grandes verdades. Ven a sumergirte en esta fábula sobre el exilio, la identidad y el eterno deseo de volver a un lugar que tal vez… nunca existió.

Nuestra Señora de las Nubes” (Our Lady of the Clouds)
A magical journey between memory and forgetting, where exiles reinvent their homelands and memories become the only land they can stand on.

Through dialogues filled with humor, tenderness, and sorrow, you will discover that within the absurd beauty of everyday life lie the deepest truths. Step into this poetic fable about exile, identity, and the eternal longing to return to a place that perhaps… never really existed.
