SOLAR Contemporary Art & Design and The Box Productions announce an original short performance piece by award-winning cast and director to take place on-site at SOLAR in East Hampton.

La Cueca is an original short play by Andrea Goldman that examines the idea of memory and forgiveness. Taking place in Pinochet’s Chile, two actors find themselves buried alive at the beginning of the play. As they fight against the obvious obstacles of running out of air, they also struggle with one another, attempting to unbury themselves from the heavy guilt and pain accumulated during the fifteen years of their marriage. The dialogue oscillates between realism and surrealism, mirroring the poet’s sanctuary of expression under censorship. And reflecting how at times it is easiest to face the harshest reality, as though it were only a dream.

Performed by Andrea Goldman and Abraham de Funes
Directed by Ben Sargent
