A beautiful, lyrical, and fantastical exploration of grief and loss. The characters are at once so naturally drawn and nuanced while also existing in this heightened, semi-fabulistic, whimsical theatrical world. The play plumbs the depths and intricacies of their individual griefs while managing to not wallow. I appreciated how Benne looked at each constellation of characters--Sebastian/Freddy, Sebastian/Julio, Julio/Freddy, all of them/Ana--and their own unique relationships with Ana, their grieving, and the journey moving forward. The ending was poignant and hopeful! Hope to see this...
