Toda Persona Vista de Cerca es un Monstruo

A situation comedy in which two couples in crisis get together for dinner and, in the clash of their outlooks, discover the most uncomfortable aspects of each other. A staged production with four performers on the stage of Teatro Lara.

The play opens with an apparently cordial evening: two couples going through difficult moments sit down at the same table. Each character lives through their own crisis, and the crisis of each couple is reflected in the other, so that the others function as a mirror that returns their most unpleasant and intimate traits.

The text focuses on the distance between what the characters appear to be, what they really are and what they desire. Over the course of the dinner, these tensions become increasingly visible and lead to confessions and uncomfortable truths, with a questioning of inherited ideas about couples and identity. The night culminates in a situation that pushes all four to a breaking point.

The cast is made up of Fiorella Pedrazzini, Olivia Tomé, Lautaro Fernández and Matías Galimberti. The direction is by Matias Benedetti, with dramaturgy by María Zubiri and assistant direction by Celeste Barrera. Benedetti also designs the set, and the costumes are by Pedrazzini.
