I went to see Teatro Luna's show: S-E-X-Oh!
That's a bilingual pun. Sex in Spanish is sexo. The performers claim that the Spanish version of the word sounds dirtier than the English version. What a difference an "o" makes!
The show was mostly English, with some Spanish here and there.
I heard
A few new words
I bet
I should forget.
It's an all-Latina ensemble. It's not a play, it's more like sketches based partly on the performers' real life histories in the area of sex, touching on topics like abortion, pregnancy, coming of age, etc. It's often quite funny. But it's sometimes sad or upsetting, too. The performances were vibrant and the audience ate it up.
S-E-X-Oh!
Is an excellent show.
