Inspired by true events, “The Delicate Tears of the Waning Moon” is about human rights violations suffered by those fighting for and communicating truth.

Paulina, a human rights journalist and a determined advocate for victims of femicide and indigenous ethnicities, has recently emerged from a coma after a brutal attack. She needs to recover her memory and reveal the truth to achieve justice. She only remembers her mother and her daughter. Rodrigo, by her side, makes unimaginable efforts to assist her.

Two journalists are immersed in a world of violence where cruelty is a habit, impunity is routine, freedom is a utopia, and telling the truth is the greatest risk.

The production inaugurated the 3rd edition of the 2019 International Theater Festival in Chicago at the Steppenwolf 1700 Theatre. Unanimously, specialized critics considered it powerful and poetically stirring.

Performed in Spanish with English translation.
