Review: ¡VOS! at Contemporary American Theater Festival
by Andrew White - Jul 15, 2026

The one-word title of this play isn't just a form of direct address; in Argentina, it's a form of 'You!' that turns its gaze away from the stage and back on all of us in the audience. Playwright Christina Pumariega is determined that we never forget the Disappeared of Argentina, and recognize the emotional chaos that juntas routinely create. Her new play, ¡Vos!, reminds us how important it is to come to terms with our heritage, warts and all. It also is a timely reminder that those who seek refuge here in the USA, overwhelmingly, are fleeing conditions that no human being should have to endure.
