Purgatorio

Hoy Polloy present Purgatorio Written by Ariel Dorfman Directed by Ben Starick What if the only person who can save me is the one I have hurt the most? Are the crimes I have committed unforgivable? And if there is no forgiveness, how do I move on with my life? Ariel Dorfman’s Purgatorio questions the complexities of human relationships, intention and identity. Exploring justice, vengeance and redemption, Purgatorio asks if one person can trust another and ultimately themselves. Confined in a nameless, timeless place, a man and woman confront each other with their past truths. They must come to terms with who they genuinely are and decide if their love is strong enough to overcome pain and betrayal. Both characters try to force the other to accept their guilt, but are they willing to accept their own?
