$Reading of "Bartolom\u00e9 de las Casas Ruins my Pool" by Juli\u00e1n Mesri$

Welcome to Miami! A new play where a 16th-century friar haunts a couple from their pool & a brother's visit from Buenos Aires goes awry.
About this Event

split/decision and Reunion invite you to a reading of the new play Bartolomé de las Casas Ruins my Pool by Julián Mesri. Directed by Danilo Gambini.

Set in Miami, the play follows Argentine expat Pamela, haunted by two ghosts: one takes the form of her estranged brother arriving from Buenos Aires while the other is a sixteenth-century friar who wanders her kitchen and swims in her pool. By turns ironic and revelatory, the play explores the legacy of imperialism and colonialism through the domestic strife of one aspirational Latine family.

For this special gathering, we’re inviting not only theater artists but especially film creatives – directors, cinematographers, editors, producers – to imagine with us.
