Liberto is a powerful, intimate work by celebrated Spanish playwright Gemma Brió that transforms personal loss into a deeply human experience. Inspired by Brió’s own life, the play recounts the fifteen days her newborn son lived after suffering complications at birth. Onstage, three performers—two actors and a musician—embody dozens of characters, weaving together storytelling, music, and sharply observed moments of humor. Moving fluidly between tenderness, absurdity, and grief, Liberto resists easy sentimentality, instead offering an honest portrait of love.
