Blanco Temblor by Teatro Público (Puerto Rico)

Ages 15+

Blanco Temblor is a reflection, between laughter, silence, music, movement, around a topic that is not visible, what is not talked about, our mental health.

The play tells the story of Marina del Mar, a Puerto Rican astrophysicist, bipolar with a birth disease: she cannot tremble. Witness the meeting of Marina del Mar with her living and dead affections, her transit through the abysses and the lights of her psyche.

Blanco Temblor es una reflexión, entre risas, silencios, música, movimiento, en torno a un tema que no se visibiliza, de lo que no se habla, nuestra salud mental. La pieza cuenta la historia de Marina del Mar, doctora en astrofísica puertorriqueña, bipolar y con una enfermedad de nacimiento: no puede temblar. Presenciamos el encuentro de Marina del Mar con sus afectos vivos y muertos, su tránsito por los abismos y las luces de su psiquis
