Synopsis

“The story we tell from the stage is about two rival groups separated by a boundary that must never be crossed. These are streets where love is seen as weakness and violence as a means of survival.

It is in this world that Tony and Maria meet. Their love is born in a place where there seems to be no room left for it. They try to choose each other, but the hatred surrounding them leaves the young lovers no freedom to make that choice.

When love comes face to face with revenge, only one question remains: can it save them from a world that has itself forgotten how to love?

LOVE is… is a story about a love that proved stronger than hatred, yet could not survive in a world consumed by hatred and violence.”
