The play tells the story of three characters and a Saturday evening that changes their lives, a crime of the kind you might read about in the newspaper or see on the news. It does not look for solutions but shows the emptiness hidden behind every deed, gesture or word, beyond appearances: a mother for whom life is a checklist, a father for whom poetry is a weakness, and a son who is trying to be perfect. The author describes Quijote syndrome as the illness that distorts reality, the mask everyone wears before the world. Details: www.facebook.com/events/990879703345985
