The playwright, thus, condemns the couple to have a relationship that people will never understand nor approve of. A forbidden relationship that even Alba is against. The most amazing and unexpected and shocking forbidden relationship ever, something that the playwright is so very proud of having come up with. But then again, he knows that this is not true. He knows that he did not create anything, that all stories existed before him and that he rather discovered this one. Created by him or not, the playwright thinks that it's a pretty darn good story, and that it looks quite rare. And he's about to tell it.

“We can’t create anything. We can only discover.”

CIMIENTOS presents texts with visionary craftsmanship. At core of the program is also the diversity and inclusion with which Cimientos has been curated. 19 years ago, IATI Theater began a steadfast commitment to the playwright. Hundreds of playwrights have graced the program. This year will be the first time that all 10 play readings are performed in less than a week. Cimientos, Spanish for “foundations,” now calls upon the most important member of this developmental step: you, the audience. We will from June 12th to June 16th, display 10 plays that have been years in the making and that are now primed for a public reception. We welcome you to help us make these plays all that they can be.
