Program Note
The Con Game builds itself around seven unscrupulous characters, revealing their dreams and the way each of them lives and lies in this story full of surprises and traps. Rafo is desperate to sell his car and Gutierrez appears like a gift from heaven to buy it. This innocent transaction is the axis around which dangerous events and relationships will build. Gutierrez, a ruthless con man, skillfully weaves a complicated plot of lies in order to trap Rafo and the rest of the characters and turn them into allies for his dark goals. Driven by blindness from their need to both lie and believe at the same time, the characters of this farce will be trapped in the complex scheme of a very talented illusionist. And without realizing it, they will all become victims and accomplices of a truly amazing sting. Set against the backdrop of ex-Peruvian President Fujimori′s crumbling government, The Con Game sets up a darkly comic tale in which vices are virtues for surviving.
