A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings Tickets

A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings is a play based on the 1955 short story of the same name by Nobel Prize winner Gabriel Garcia Marquez. The original story, a somewhat dark tale focused on the exploits of adults, has been reworked for a young audience by Pulitzer Prize winner Nilo Cruz. It centers on brother and sister Fefe and Momo, who find a peculiar creature that has fallen from the sky into their poor little town. Though they fear him at first, they are soon convinced that he is angel in need of their help. But when the adults of the village discover the creature, they see him as whatever they need him to be: a novelty, a divine inspiration, and even a lucrative sideshow act. In general, the play examines the desperation caused by poverty and the ugly influence of greed, as well as the beautiful gift of a child's imagination. Featuring vivid costumes and original music by Luciano Stazzone, Fernando Diez, and Luciana De Oto, A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings is a delightful show with important messages.
