THEATRE + COMEDY

Gente de Teatro brings back to the stage for the second time, the highly acclaimed play Lombrices (Worms), by Argentine playwright Pablo Albarello.  A Black Comedy. Third Place in National Competition for Comedy Performance (Argentina, 2004). October 22 & 23, 2010, 8:00 PM, at Talento Bilingüe de Houston, 333 S. Jensen Dr., Houston, TX 77003.

"Worms" tells the story of Martirio and Consuelo, two elderly women secluded in an apartment building. They live in a parallel world saturated with delusions and nostalgia for the past, while life on the outside goes on. The building catches fire and is evacuated. The fire is controlled but they remain oblivious and unaware. Between contacts with wandering spirits and a confession of forbidden love, they spend their lives playing a morbid game: Murdering each other using plots from famous Hollywood movies.

This play has been presented in numerous cities in Argentina, Spain, Bolivia and it participated in the Merida Festival (Mexico).
