The Delicate Tears of the Waning Moon presented by Water People Theater at Instituto Cervantes of Chicago

Chicago Reader - Highly Recommended

"...Directed by Iraida Tapias, this is one of the most empowering and moving presentations I've witnessed about the courage it takes to be a truth-teller in this world."

Third Coast Review - Recommended

"...The poetic title of Rebeca Aleman's play, The Delicate Tears of the Waning Moon, may delude you into thinking her play is a sweet love story. But don't expect a romcom when you enter the small, jewel-box theater space at Instituto Cervantes. The script, while often poetic in its language, is the story of Paulina, a human rights journalist in an unnamed South American country, who has suffered a vicious attack because of her work. Aleman's script is a horrific story of violence and recovery by women, particularly women journalists, in that country. This fact-based docudrama is directed by Iraida Tapias, a Venezuelan playwright, director and producer."
