Five Hours with Mario/Cinco horas con Mario

GALA’s presentation of Five Hours with Mario pays homage to Miguel Delibes, one of Spain’s leading modern writers who died last year. In this solo performance by Spanish actress María Victoria Peña, Carmen Sotillo engages in a candid and witty conversation over the body of her husband Mario after his sudden death. Her reflections shed humorous light on their marriage and its conflicts, and poke fun at the narrow-minded petty bourgeoisie of the 1960s in Spain.
