## About this plan

During August, Teatro La Mama in Bogotá presents 'Vivir es un milagro', a tragicomedy that puts a mother on stage as she fights to get medicine for her son inside a healthcare system full of paperwork and roadblocks.

It is a story about love, dignity, and resistance. An invitation to think about solidarity as a response when institutions fall short, told in a down-to-earth tone that connects quickly with the audience.
