A teenager embarks on a quest to New York to find his mother, while the economic system crumbles around him. With a lucid and penetrating gaze, the playwright dissects the contradictions of Western society, offering a profound reflection on the inevitable ruin that haunts us. Written at the beginning of the last great crisis, this piece has established itself as one of its author's most representative works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe play follows a teenager who, after the banking crisis in Iceland, decides to undertake a pilgrimage to New York in search of his mother. This journey becomes a voyage into the heart of darkness of a faltering system. Throughout his travels, the young man confronts different realities that make him a participant in the deep depression that is leading the Western world toward an inevitable ruin. The plot unfolds like a grotesque circus that dazzles society, while the author, with her characteristic lucidity, deconstructs the layers of a crisis that transcends the economic to delve into the human.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eGlobal financial crisis and its social consequences.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eInitiatory journey and the search for identity in a decaying world.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCriticism of the economic system and consumer society.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eFamily relationships and maternal absence as a narrative driver.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe fragility of the established order and inevitable ruin.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work is aimed at readers interested in contemporary theater, especially those seeking a critical and profound look at the economic crisis and its human repercussions.

With sharp and symbolic prose, Lluïsa Cunillé manages to capture the essence of an era marked by crisis and hopelessness. Its value lies in the ability to transform a concrete historical event, such as the Icelandic banking crisis, into a universal metaphor for the decadence of the system. Recommended for readers who appreciate the theater of ideas and narratives that directly challenge the spectator.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"INSTITUTO NACIONAL DE LAS ARTES ESCÉNICAS Y DE LA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53405074555227,"sku":"9788490413166","price":10.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1018\/0650\/6331\/files\/978849041316.jpg?v=1781822465","url":"https:\/\/kalamobooks.com\/en\/products\/9788490413166","provider":"Kalamo Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
