- Santiago Guzmán's ALTAR -
September 12-14, 2019
Santiago Guzmán's ALTAR marked TODOS Productions’ first piece of work. Its Premiere at the 4th Annual St. John's Short Play Festival received great a great response for its bilingual structure, as well as the themes (immigration, queerness, belonging) explored throughout the piece.
Synopsis
Eugenio’s ex-boyfriend ghosted him several months ago and he is still not over him. Taking Día de Muertos and his mother's previous experience with paranormal activities in Mexico as references, Eugenio hopes that by setting up an altar he will be able to summon his ghost to sort out their past and talk about the end of their relationship once and for all. Would setting up an altar be enough for Eugenio to forgive, forget, and love again?
Written by and starring Santiago Guzmán
