Filled with passion, intensity and power, this show is about love, loss and heartbreak, mystery and drama and also a dash of comedy.

Leo

A coming-of-age story set against the political turmoil of the Chilean coup of 1973. Set in Santiago, Chile, three young friends are swept up in the political upheaval surrounding the overthrow of President Salvador Allende’s democratically elected government.  Told through beautiful poetry and dialogue, Leo recounts his memories of love and loss, pain and pleasure, the struggle between individual desire and working for the greater good, and of falling into the fearsome world of the “disappeared”.

Goodness

A playwright breaks his promise and tells a story he said he would never tell: this is the story of Althea, the only survivor of her family from an unnamed genocide. Althea became a prison guard to the intellectual behind it on trial many years later. However, he claims to have Alzheimer’s disease and cannot remember the past two decades of his life. This is a story of genocide; a story of broken relationships; a story of guilt and the loss of innocence, of love and hate, and asks the question “why do good people rush to do evil, and what do they become?”

Tickets: $15 adults, $12 students; available at The ARTS Project box office, 519-642-2767.
