Theater
El Brote
One of the most popular plays of the Argentinean billboard focus on the theatrical exercise, ambitions, frustrations, and love for beauty.
An actor begins to blur the boundaries between fiction and reality, and now he even distrusts whoever writes the events of his own life. What kind of character are we in this story?
This Compañía Criolla show where an actor unfolds into many characters in a theatrical whirlwind, powerful, funny and moving; It was released in February 2022 and since then it has been considered a true phenomenon on the Argentine billboard.
