About this plan
El Dictado is a play about Adela, a Colombian woman who travels to Spain to visit her sister Nora, who has been living there as an immigrant for years. During the visit, Adela asks Nora to help her build a fiction. They will create fake photos and letters to send their mother in Colombia, so she believes her daughter lives a full and happy life far from home.
Nora agrees to go along with the plan, but with a different goal. She does not want to play a simple cover story. Frida wants the act of inventing that story to bring her sister back to life. The play brings up migration, family ties across distance, and the thin line between lying and caring.
If you like small-scale theater with emotional writing and well-built characters, this is one of those shows worth seeing in Bogotá.
