"Carlotta returns to Barcelona, a stopover en route to Avila where she's researching an article on St. Teresa, a 16th century nun, there also to serve her husband Andrés with divorce papers," according to press notes. "Over a sumptuous lunch of wine and gazpacho, Andrés fights to rekindle their relationship. However, Carlotta is on a quest for the divine, and in the process of discovering the mystical Teresa’s Ecstasy, she discovers herself."
Performances will continue through April 1.
