Ammunition Theatre Company opens the World Premiere of “The Giant Void in My Soul”
May 11 - June 3, 2018 at The Pico, 10508 W. Pico Blvd. Los Angeles, CA
A quixotic quest, between friends, leads to new adventures in temptation, self-examination, sensation, and even procreation.
Ammunition Theatre Company presents Bernardo Cubría’s new play, The Giant Void in My Soul. On a journey to fill the void, Cubría’s characters mine the comic ironies of searching for meaning in life. Ever curious, they forge ahead in optimism.
"Reaching across social, political, and cultural divides the fool, or clown, makes us laugh at the core of the human experience,” explains playwright Bernardo Cubría. “Sadly, most clown plays are centered around two white males, which seems antithetical to the very heart of what clowning was intended to be. I set out to write a play that embraces the universality that this art form represents - where the fools could be played by anyone, of any age, race, or gender."
Bernardo Cubría is a Mexican playwright whose play, Neighbors: A Fair Trade Agreement, became a 2017 Semi-Finalist for the Eugene O'Neill Center. It received its world premiere at INTAR in NYC last November. In 2016 his play The Judgment of Fools received three productions nationally, in NYC, Los Angeles, and Houston. As an actor, he has worked at New York’s Public Theater, Rattlestick, LA Mama, and INTAR. Film & TV Credits: Coco, The Good Wife, Bold and The Beautiful, Blue Bloods.
Director Felix Solis helmed Raul Castillo’s Knives and Other Sharp Objects at New York’s Public Theater. Selected directing credits include “Tinto,” his first short film, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival (Best Short Narrative nom), “iHeart,” premiered at the Hoboken International Film Festival and won the Award of Merit at the One Reeler Short Film Festival. Recently Solis directed “Going Down,” which is starting the festival circuit now. Felix has been a member of the LAByrinth Theater Company since 1999.
The ensemble cast includes Karla Mosley (2018 GLAAD Media Award; NAACP nom), Kim Hamilton (current role in The Tragedy), Liza Fernandez (Steppenwolf Theatre; Rattlestick), Claudia Doumit (Jiya on NBC’s Timeless).
