📖 Social etiquette stripped bare

The story begins when two couples arrange a meeting to politely resolve an altercation between their children. What starts out as a peaceful, tolerant, and understanding conversation soon spirals out of control, shifting from polite dialogue into an uninhibited dispute where each person defends their stance.

As tension mounts and civilized facades crumble, the encounter unleashes unexpected grievances and surprising shifts in loyalty. Stripping away urban pretenses, the characters reveal their genuine flaws and let loose the savage god that dwells within each of them.

🌍 An international theatrical phenomenon

Originally premiered in 2006 in Zurich, this celebrated play rapidly grew into a worldwide stage hit, garnering critical acclaim at renowned venues like the Théâtre Antoine in Paris and London's Gielgud Theatre, cementing its place as a contemporary masterpiece.

ℹ️ Good to know: Approximate duration of 90 minutes. Recommended for all audiences. Performed in Spanish. Running until November 29.

✨ A razor-sharp satire on the fragile nature of social manners and modern human coexistence.
