BUSCANDO A COPI

SUMMARY

Paris, 1987. A young and inexperienced journalist is sent to interview a forgotten Raúl Damonte (alias Copi) on his deathbed. But, will it really be an interview or, perhaps, the last staging of a writer desperate to escape death at any cost? The character of Copi is inspired on the real Argentinian avant-garde playwright and cartoonist famous for his extreme views on art, life and sex who died of AIDS related illnesses in Paris. This production premiered at FUERZAfest 2019 in New York City.
