Audience joins the uproarious action in one-woman show

MiamiHerald.com: "The currently featured Cuando Teodoro Se Muera (When Teodoro Dies) produced in conjunction with FUNDarte and the Spanish Cultural Center, is a refreshing blend of improvisation, monologue and interactive performance. It could easily spin into a spoof on Afro-Cuban spiritualism, but veteran actress Vivian Acosta delivers a one-woman show in which the audience becomes as much spectacle as spectator. Through an uproarious series of prayers, rituals and lots of holy water flinging, the sassy Nicolasa, a spiritualist from an unnamed barrio of Havana, offers audience members spiritual cleansings and advice while unveiling her own frustrated life at the side of oppressive husband Teodoro."
