A writer meets a twenty-year-old patricide named Martin in prison to create a play based on his story. When the inmate is barred from performing by the ministry, young actor Federico takes the role, and the writer works with both men simultaneously. Sergio Blanco, a Franco-Uruguayan playwright and one of contemporary Spanish-language theatre's most powerful voices, delivers a study of male identity, oppression, violence, crime, punishment and discrimination. The work explores theatre's creative processes through the Oedipus myth and Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment. Critics and audiences praised the production for its exceptional pace and compelling atmosphere. Over four consecutive sold-out seasons, two successful national tours and 250,000 spectators, Blanco's award-winning play under Vasilis Theodoropolous's direction has become one of contemporary theatre's most beloved and discussed productions.
