Holy Week Celebrations in El Sauzal 2026

Synopsis

“La maleta” reflects on the forced migration that many people around the world have suffered and continue to suffer. With a contemporary perspective, it tells from the perspective of its characters the reality of the emigrant. Different people, different motives, but always one thread: the search for freedom.

With the poem by Pedro Lezcano as the narrative axis, the play traverses the different causes for which people have to leave their land and seek other places where they can be what they have not been able to be.

The center of the proposal is a giant suitcase that will gradually transform into the spaces necessary to tell each of the stories. An original work that brings its staging to the street to be performed, seeking proximity to the audience and making them participate in this proposal

Schedule: From 20:00 to 21:00 hours. All audiences. Free admission.

• SYNOPSIS: Buenos Aires 2010. Héctor Kessler, a retired military doctor, lives his retirement by making homemade perfumes as a hobby. His two children, now independent, visit him frequently with the aim of pulling him out of his confinement. At the same time, Sofía Timmerman appears, a woman belonging to the so-called “grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo”, who start a new campaign to locate the children who were stolen during the military dictatorship of General Videla, in the late 1970s. Both stories intertwine and converge, drastically changing the lives of their protagonists. The past regains importance, and we will try to discover what is true and what is false in this small story of anonymous beings, but as real as the tragedy they themselves have endured.
