Cara Mía Theatre presents 24th Street Theatre from Los Angeles, CA

Two political prisoners meet every Sunday to tell each other the story of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza. Through absurdist and physical comedy, La Razón Blindada reveals two men mischievously turn to storytelling to survive their new reality.

Drawing from Cervantes’ Don Quixote, Kafka’s The Truth About Sancho Panza, and testimonies from Argentine political prisoners of the 1970s, La Razón Blindada is a moving testament to the human need to imagine, to resist, and to persevere.
