Part soap opera and part absurdist comedy, Pensotti's script (running nearly two intermissionless hours) has its excesses and consists primarily of narrated action (in Spanish with English supertitles), which, combined, can make the experience somewhat trying. Thankfully, the Argentine production [...]
