Cosmic (Cósmica)

COSMIC (Cósmica) By Gabriela Román Fuentes. Translated by Georgina Escobar. In this play Meisa hates Juan but loves him but wants to hit him but is in love with him. Juan wants to carry Meisa in his pocket and sit on her hammock smile. As proof of her love for him he persuades her to send him intimate pictures of herself. After the images go viral and her schoolmates feast in her humiliation Meisa considers the cosmos her situation all while standing at the edge of a bridge.
