About This Book

Un drama en tres actos sigue a un hombre reflexivo y obsesionado con la justicia cuya conducta extrema suscita el desconcierto y la controversia en su entorno; familiares y conocidos debaten si lo que muestran sus actos es locura o santidad. La pieza articula monólogos y confrontaciones que enfrentan posturas idealistas y realistas, explorando el costo personal del rigor moral, la incomprensión social y la fragilidad de la razón cuando choca con las pasiones humanas. El tono alterna entre la reflexión filosófica y la tensión teatral para poner en escena el conflicto entre conciencia íntima y juicio colectivo.
