When a young, aspirational theatre troupe discovers and performs what they believe is a Syrian soap opera, they come to realize just how much they don't know. Kiss is a brilliant play-within-a-play that shows how misunderstanding cultural cues can reveal blind spots you never knew you had. Chilean playwright and director Guillermo Calderón brings his masterful sensibility to this darkly funny, tightly wound new production where naiveté can turn out to be the kiss of death.
"[Calderon is] Chile's most acclaimed playwright-director of the last two decades - New York Times
“The true meaning of the title will shock you.” – On Stage and Screen
"There’s a freshness and forcefulness to Calderón’s work, which marries the urgency of politics to the playful joy of theatre-making." - American Theatre Magazine
