Buenos Aires, Argentina, 1983. The military dictatorship has fallen. Headlines herald “The End of Fear.” Meanwhile, at a private English-speaking schools the geography teacher's reign of terror is legendary as she makes students turn against themselves and against each other. But... two kids shunned for their otherness are about to earn the power to bring on the unthinkable.
From the creator and producer of Landscapes of Silence and A Dubious Blessing , comes the true-to-life story of a grade 10 classroom at an incredible time of change. It is the tale of a nation’s dream, of two unlikely heroes – and of a storyteller who, once upon a time, did not know how to think.
Praise for LANDSCAPES OF SILENCE and A DUBIOUS BLESSING :
“It’s theatre in its most essential form - movement, gesture and the power of the human voice.”
“Words dropped in beauty. Marta’s voice is her and hers only.”
“It was as if the audience was collectively holding its breath.”
"So beyond entertainment!”
“More real than the chair I was sitting on!”
“Absolutely mesmerizing! Marta draws one in to her stories like thirst draws one to drink.”
