“Días contados” (Borrowed Time)

by Oscar Martínez

Life skates by; our days are numbered.  Irony is the central pillar of this moving story told by Ana, a famous playwright. Días contados (Borrowed Time) is a play within another, without respite for the protagonists nor for the viewer. Ana recounts her days with an exquisite and caustic humor, aided by the characters with whom she conducts this exercise in understanding life: a dynamic and incisive mother, an inflexible psychiatrist brother and an ex-husband devoted to delivering “big” news.

presents:

 

“Made in Argentina”

(Made in Lanús) by Nelly Fernández Tiscornia.
 

(Made in Lanús) is one of the most successful Argentine plays of the last 25 years. Yoli, Negro, Mabel & Osvaldo describe with exquisite sensitivity and simplicity both the dilemmas faced by potential immigrants upon deciding whether to leave or stay in their country and the dilemmas faced by those that have already immigrated. Fernández Tiscornia’s writing appeals directly yet gently to the core of our personal and cultural identity. The play invites you to laugh, cry, think, and choose once more. Winner of the Argentores Award (Argentina, 1986) & Award for Best Foreign Play (México, 1988). Don’t miss this powerful production!
