SHELTERby Alexandre dal Farra (Brazil), translated by Rodrigo HaddadIn an apparently mundane context, a few people start disappearing – or escaping -, who knows where, who knows why. A woman, alongside her husband, tries to understand what’s going on. As she dives into an ever-growing and unending search for answers, the path leads her to learn that perhaps she may never really find them.Using this premise – which echoes some aspects of Theatre of the Absurd, with authors such as Samuel Beckett and others – the play deals with many contemporary subjects such as paranoia, alienation as a way to attempt to save oneself from a hard reality, and the disappearance of utopia as a perspective guiding an individual’s experience.“WOMAN – After a long pause.
