Abismo (Abyss)

In this play, based on poems by David Rosenmann-Taub, the Chilean director Alejandro Castillo creates a dreamscape where memories and evocations are embodied by a child, a young couple, and an old man. The poems explore love, destiny, life, death — the meaning and meaninglessness of existence.

The majority of the text is taken from the tetralogy Cortejo y Epinicio (Cortege and Epinicion), whose four volumes are: El Zócalo (The Plinth), El Mensajero (The Messenger), La Opción (The Option), and La Noche Antes (The Night Before). One monologue comes from another book by Rosenmann-Taub, Los Surcos Inundados. All these works are published by LOM Ediciones (Santiago, Chile).
