FRONTERAS

As powerful and moving as it is entertaining, Fronteras is an urgent and satirical assault on celebrity culture and the West’s inertia (or indifference) in the face of humanitarian crises occurring elsewhere in the world—crises we witness daily through television screens.

Told through the voices of two young artists, *Fronteras* follows the story of an idealistic Western photojournalist who, after capturing the first-ever image of Bin Laden, is catapulted to fame and media stardom in the aftermath of 9/11. At the same time, it tells the story of a young anonymous Syrian graffiti artist forced to flee her country after fighting with unwavering courage and integrity for regime change and a better future. Their monologues intertwine and build upon each other until they meet in a devastating climax.

With themes of idealism, personal and professional ethics, the clash between East and West, the Syrian conflict, and the migration crisis, *Fronteras* delivers a gripping blend of realism, boldness, poetry, humour, and theatricality. It is fast-paced and direct—a pure, epic, and captivating tale told by just two characters that will leave the audience breathless and heart-struck.
