Shelter by Alexandre dal Farra Translated by Rodrigo Haddad

In an apparently mundane context, a few people start
disappearing, or escaping, who knows where, who
knows why. A woman, alongside her husband, tries
to understand what’s going on. As she dives into an
ever-growing and unending search for answers, she
learns that perhaps she may never really find them.
Using this premise, which echoes some aspects of
the Theatre of the Absurd, the play deals with many
contemporary subjects such as paranoia, alienation as
a way to attempt to save oneself from hard reality, and
the disappearance of utopia as a perspective guiding
an individual’s experience.
