La Cama de Cartón

Black comedy that places a well-off man and a homeless man locked inside a cash machine, where their ideas about money, success and dignity collide with no way out.

Fede seems to have everything sorted: a job, money and a promising date. A brief stop at a cash machine, however, leaves him locked in for the night with Óscar, a man who lives on the street and sleeps on an improvised bed of cardboard.

Forced to share a minimal space, the two characters clash over what each understands by getting ahead. Fede defends effort and unscrupulous ambition, while Óscar confesses that he no longer fights for anything except to secure a future for his daughter. The argument grows increasingly absurd, with unexpected confessions, pointed reproaches and an offer that is hard to refuse.

The show raises an uncomfortable question about dignity, greed and appearances in a society where a person's worth seems to be measured by what they own. It is a theatrical piece set in a single space, the inside of a cash machine, which serves at once as refuge, trap and stage for a showdown.
