Siamese Twins

T0897822126
Lorenzo and Ignacio, twins who form the well-known archetypes of Cain and Abel. One brother's envy leads him to subject his more successful and independent twin to cruelty and to torture, and finally to conspire in bringing about his murder. Written against the backdrop of Argentina s Dirty Wars, the play offers an unsettling look at oppression in society through dark comedy and grotesque characters. Tragi-comedy first performed in 1967.
