"Bajo Terapia"

Author: Matías De Federico · Director: Mercedes García · Premiere: 4 April 2025

The story begins on a Friday night, just before the long-awaited weekend. Three couples arrive for therapy hoping to work through their conflicts, but find themselves in a far more intense session than expected.

The couples are invited to take part in an unusual group therapy session — an exchange of personal experiences, desires, dreams and frustrations. The psychologist has left sealed envelopes with prompts for the couples to work through together. Nothing out of the ordinary, except that the session unfolds without the psychologist actually present. They must face their own problems and help one another. Each envelope opened raises new and ingenious questions, turning the session into a chaos full of surprises. Secrets come to light: truths, lies, dirty tricks, endless reproaches, and one big surprise. All of it, under therapy.

Bajo Terapia is a play full of unexpected conflict, with humour as its main tool, where nothing is quite what it seems.

Running time: 85 minutes, a single act with the cast on stage throughout. Audience: adult.
