A haunting piece with a parable-like quality to it, while still centering exquisitely specific and human characters. Spare poetry and lyricism co-exist here with beautifully captured and inelegant rhythms of natural speech. I loved the way Olmos created an entire world, socio-cultural and socio-economic rules and background and context, while zeroing in on just four characters. It makes for an original and theatrical piece that I'd love to see realized onstage!
