Gabriel Chamé Buendia reinvents Shakespeare with physical humor and a critical perspective on the abuse of power

A master of actors, Argentine Gabriel Chamé Buendia presents a free adaptation of Shakespeare’s Measure for Measure, approached through humor, poetry, and social critique. A female figure takes center stage in a disturbing and timely conflict: the abuse of political and sexual power. With a playful physical language reminiscent of the finest minstrel tradition, the play challenges the moral structures that govern us and reveals the tensions between power and responsibility.
