Play Details

Synopsis

Marcela, Alejandra, and José Miguel, political activists, go to extremes when they hatch a plan to organise a bombing, each driven by their own convictions and haunted by personal demons. The play delves into themes of moral ambiguity, the price of freedom, and the psychological toll of violence. Calderón’s intense dialogue and nonlinear narrative style heighten the drama, exposing the complex interplay of ideology and personal belief in the face of extreme actions.

“B” offers a deep dive into the psyche of activists caught in the web of their convictions and the harsh realities of their choices, making it a thought-provoking and intense theatrical experience.
