A Reality of No Return
Early on in Teatro La Re-sentida’s Oasis of Impunity, a performer stands naked in a pathway of light. Gentle waiting-room music, reminiscent of a surf-rock lullaby, plays as another performer crouches behind them with a bowl and proceeds to wash their genitals. What might in other circumstances be an act of care—bathing another person—is hard to watch, and yet, given what is to come, only really the beginning of such unsettling dissonance.
