The audience enters a working TV studio: cameras roll, actors perform, and a lone violinist plays a live soundtrack. We enter the world of the telenovela, but is the real drama on camera or off? With this new bilingual work, Anonymous Ensemble asks: what is the role of artists and popular culture in democracy? Can we make a difference? Can we find joy in resistance?
