Gente de Teatro (Houston) is delighted to once again present Venecia by Argentine playwright Jorge Accame in this new stage production (Performances in Spanish)
Set in a brothel in northern Argentina, Venecia unfolds a vibrant marginal world where wit and humor intertwine with deep humanity. At the heart of the story is La Gringa — an elderly, blind madam who dreams of traveling to Venice to reunite with the love of her life and finally free herself from a lingering guilt.
When the journey proves impossible, the other characters create a touching theatrical illusion — a play within the play — to bring her dream to life. Tender, funny, and profoundly moving, the play invites audiences to reflect on illusion, solidarity, desire, and the enduring dignity of the human spirit.Read more
