A LITTLE ABOUT THE PLAY
"There are things more important than love / Name them / Diamonds"
There is a diamond as big as your fist, as heavy as your heart, and touring through Buenos Aires, Argentina. It’s time to steal it. Or it’s time to keep it safe.
Pitting diamond heist against museum intrigue, Untameable follows the story of two young women: one trying to repatriate an old jewel and the other trying to keep old nemeses at bay. The audience is free to wander the space and pick which side of the story to follow.Untameable offers an immersive romp between a criminal den and a modern museum, where the audience, like the characters, must decide between love and diamonds, honesty and victory. Untameable is an investigation into what we will do to achieve our magnum opus and what gets lost in the winning.
