About the show

Songs and humor are fundamental in a piece with a dramatic background like Paraguay. This background is that of immigration, reflected through the journey that two Paraguayan housewives undertake to the promised land that they believe is the United States. Attended by a bureaucrat, in charge of receiving immigrants, the fantasy of the "American dream" reveals a deception, of which the civil servant is also part, and they experience a reality marked by sexism, depersonalization and exploitation. Lucía Maciel and Paula Grinszpan direct this touching and hilarious show, developed in a collective way in Buenos Aires and released in 2019.
