IATI Theater to Present US Premiere of AHORADESPUES by Argentinian Playwright Guido Zappacosta

IATI Theater (Winston Estevez, Artistic Director) will present the US premiere of Ahoradespués, a moving new work by acclaimed Argentinian playwright Guido Zappacosta. Directed by Gerardo Gudiño and featuring Elias Viñoles in the role of Diego, AHORADESPUÉS is a powerful examination of the final moments between a father and son. This limited engagement begins on Friday, November 1 for three performances only, concluding on Sunday, November 3.

The performance schedule is as follows: Friday, November 1 at 7 p.m.; Saturday, November 2 at 7 p.m.; and Sunday, November 3 at 3 p.m. Performances are held at IATI Theater (64 East 4th Street between Bowery and 2nd Avenue; BDFM trains to Broadway-Lafayette/F train to 2nd Ave/6 train to Bleecker or Astor Pl).

In AHORADESPUÉS, Diego takes his terminally ill father, Tito, to one final soccer match at La Bombonera, Argentina's iconic stadium. What unfolds is a deeply personal narrative that intertwines moments of memory, love, and regret. As soccer plays out in the background, the audience is invited into an intimate story that captures the fleeting nature of time and the importance of expressing emotions before it's too late.

The production will be performed in Spanish with English supertitles.

The design team for Ahoradespués includes Miguel Valderrama (lighting designer), Matías Ulibarry (set designer), Alejandra Díaz Pizarro (supertitle translator), Braulio Basilio (production manager), and Valeria Llaneza (assistant director and stage manager).
