Policarpa
written by Diana Burbano
directed by Giselle Boustani-Fontenele
dramaturgy by Ayodele Nzinga
In the near future, there is an inexplicable plague in La Gran Colombia. Ingrid Bolivar–the brilliant, mad ex-wife of Colombia’s leader, is the only one who knows that the plague is carried by young women of the streets, whom she adopts and uses as weapons against the government. Policarpa, a girl with magical gifts, is supposed to be Ingrid’s secret apocalyptic weapon. But when Policarpa falls in love with a top government official, she resists becoming an instrument of destruction and instead seeks to become a savior through sacrifice.
