ALIENS WILL COME AND THEY WILL HAVE YOUR EYES

Aliens Will Come and They Will Have Your Eyes, written and directed by María Velasco and hailed as one of the best plays of the season, presents love—as an encounter with the unknown and a cognitive adventure—as a supernatural event.Halfway between autofiction and science fiction, the play's refrain is that love stories, in a society that seeks comfort and security (economics) from affection, are stories of UFOs.
GODOT AWARD for BEST ORIGINAL WORK / Godot Award Finalist for Best Actor and Best Set Design.
SELECTED AMONG THE 10 BEST PLAYS OF THE YEAR by BABELIA (El País) and LA LECTURA (El Mundo).
SYNOPSIS: A woman reaches middle age, an emotional outcast on planet Earth.The arrival of a new love is only comparable to a nighttime sighting, a UFO landing, an alien contact… A supernatural event capable of returning her to magical thinking and the need for grand utopias.
