Melancholia (revival)

The Los Angeles Theatre Center (LATC)
( 03/14/2013 - 04/14/2013 )
Running Time: 90 min

Combat Fatigue. Shell shock. PTSD. Melancholia. For some soldiers, there can be something worse than being killed in battle - surviving. The Latino Theater Company's Melancholia returns to the LATC by popular demand this Spring. This stylized performance explores the life of a young Latino marine who returns from the Iraq war and struggles to reconnect to a world that no longer makes sense. Inspired by true events. 2007 Amnesty International "Freedom of Expression" Award Nominee.

OVATION RECOMMENDED!
