Sometimes you need to just take a chance and go see a show that will have you asking “What is it all about?”. This is such a show. While confounding in parts, the idea of alternate universes and persons is not that far off. Come experience the future of theater right now.

La Versión Infinita, written by Maria Paula Olmo and Carolina Sturla, dramaturged by Daniela Contreras, and directed by Jonathon Morgan, is staged at LatinUs Theatre in Cleveland, Ohio. The story follows Liilian, an insurance sales employee who harbors dreams of becoming an astronaut and walking on the moon. Her routine life takes a dramatic turn when she receives a phone call from a voice identical to her own, shattering her reality (website). This online description instantly reminds me of Alter by Tania Benites, produced by Cleveland Public Theatre, which I reviewed at Cleveland Public Theatre last year.
While Alter is a fantasy thriller about a female employee under pressure to achieve higher sales who transforms into a materialistic demon, staged with a realistic style, La Versión Infinita is a truly conceptual, metaphysical, allegorical, futuristic, and high-camp work that exists in a parallel universe. Creating an allegorical world and the characters that resonate with those in some B-futurist movies from the 1950s, the play presents a view of an infinite universe that contrasts with our daily lives, consumed by materialistic incentives.
