Aguijon Theater, Chicago's longest-running Latinx theater, launches its 28th season with Ariel Dorfman's Death and the Maiden. It has been years since political prisoner, Paulina, suffered at the hands of her captor, a man whose face she never saw but whose memory grips her still in a secret terror. The dictatorship that plagued her country has just fallen, and nothing is certain. When an unexpected visitor arrives at the secluded beach house she shares with her husband, Paulina, convinced this stranger is her tormentor, confronts her deepest fears in search of that long sought after justice. Performed in spanish with english subtitles.
