EL TEST at GENTE DE TEATRO

Would you prefer $100,000 now or $1,000,000 ten years from now?

El Test (The Test) begins with an apparently simple question and uses humor and intelligence to strip away the masks we all wear. What starts as an innocent game ends up questioning everything: love, success, failure, friendship, ethics, the fear of time's passage, and the small lies each character has used to construct their identity. Money is merely the catalyst for conflict, the spark that sets it off; the real explosion takes place within human relationships. El Test is a high-quality contemporary play where entertainment never comes at the expense of substance, and the actors drive the experience.

Jordi Vallejo made his debut as a playwright with El Test (The Test), which won Spain's Fray Luis de León Theater Award. Later, the play received Argentina's prestigious ACE Award for Best Comedy.

Directed by Marcela Salas, PhD.
