Kiss<\/em><\/h2>\n

by Guillermo Calder\u00f3n<\/h4>\n

Directed by Tara Ahmadinejad<\/h4>\n

Kiss,<\/em> by Chilean playwright Guillermo Calder\u00f3n, is set in Damascus, Syria. This premise lands us into the heart of the play\u2019s question: how do we go about cross cultural representation, when so much gets lost in translation? Through a twisty and comedic path, Kiss<\/em> attempts to go deeper than a superficial cultural dalliance.<\/h4>\n
