Follow on Google News | The Abuelas presented by Antaeus Theatre CompanyAntaeus Theatre Company's West Coast premiere of Stephanie Alison Walker's acclaimed new play explores questions of truth and identity amid the repercussions of Argentina's "Dirty War."
By: Antaeus Theatre Compay The Abuelas explores the repercussions of Argentina's "Dirty War" on one family. In March of 1976, a military junta seized control of Argentina. Those opposed to the new government were told "to make themselves invisible, or they would be made to vanish." By September of that year, the regime was already responsible for an average of 30 abductions each day. From these abductions, a new word came into common usage: desaparecidos, the "disappeareds." How does one go on after discovering her entire life is a lie? Does the restoration of truth bring freedom or suffering? Is it possible to integrate two identities into one life? The Abuelas explores these questions — as well as the heart's capacity for forgiveness, even in the face of the harshest betrayal. The Abuelas runs Friday, Oct. 11 - Nov. 25. Fri. at 8 p.m., Sat at 8 p.m., Sun at 2 p.m. and Mon. at 8 p.m., Previews Oct. 3 - 1/10, Tickets $35, previews $15.
