THE PLACE OF THE USELESS

Have you ever wondered what happens to everything we leave behind? El Lugar de lo Inservible is a fascinating proposal that invites us to reflect on consumption and memory through a moving story, where nature transforms and memories take on a life of their own. 🌊

This play, created by Proyecto Alicia + Meraki Cía., immerses us in an environment where trees are PET bottles and ocean waves turn into plastic, reminding us of the importance of reconnecting with what is essential: a hug, a sincere look, or human contact.
