  1. 1. Prohibido Suicidarse En Primavera

    A bittersweet drama that follows an earnest young man determined to end his life and the eccentric community that refuses to let despair win, using compassion, absurd schemes and gentle humor to confront loneliness and restore hope; the play blends comedy and melancholy to argue for the value of human connection and the resilience of life even in the face of deep sorrow.
