Cosmic (C?smica)

COSMIC (Cósmica) By Gabriela Román Fuentes. Translated by Georgina Escobar. In this play, Meisa hates Juan but loves him but wants to hit him but is in love with him. Juan wants to carry Meisa in his pocket and sit on her hammock smile. As proof of her love for him, he persuades her to send him intimate pictures of herself. After the images go viral and her schoolmates feast in her humiliation, Meisa considers the cosmos, her situation, all while standing at the edge of a bridge. This translation was commissioned and developed at The Lark, New York City, as part of the 2019 US/Mexico Playwright Exchange Program.This print edition is a collaboration between The Lark and NoPassport theatre alliance and press.
