Introduction to the work:

Aquéron: El Río de la Tragedia is an absurdist play presented in Spanish with English supertitles provided. The New Ohio Theatre, where the production was first produced, summarizes: “Leonardo dreams of crossing the Acheron River to live the Death-Dream. But his desires are thwarted when a mysterious migra (immigration agent) prevents his crossing and becomes, at different times, his friend, enemy, guardian, transgressor and even his victim. A poetic, dramatic meditation on identity, migration, and the idea of “alien” at the Mexico-US border.”
