This wonderful entertainment venue in USC University Park is hosting the U.S. Premeire of La Razon Blindada to rave reviews from the LA Times and the LA Weekly.

And it is presented in Spanish with English Supertitles. Bring your mamacitas! But leave those under 14 at home.

Know this La Razón Blindada (The Armored Reason) was hailed as:

"...harrowing, surprisingly funny piece" "The actors are faultless..." "...the effect is hallucinatory, trance-inducing and surreal" by F. Kathleen Foley of theLA Times

and "The performances are consummate and the staging, as eloquent as the text..." "...poignantly horrific black comedy" by Deborah Klugman, LAWeekly GO!

The internationally acclaimed play by Argentine-born playwright/director Aristides Vargas blends Don Quixote with with Franz Kafka’s, The Truth About Sancho Panza, and testimonies from Argentinian political prisoners held during the '70s dictatorship that led to Los Desperacios.
