Synopsis

A playful theater troupe in Puerto Rico shares secrets inspired by indigenous culture and the symphonies of native tree frogs through performances of Teatro En Vivo- Live Theatre. Modern Man and his initially reluctant Modern Spouse question the sustainability of western ways after a flood on the island transforms everyone into nomads. An unlikely communication from the cosmos is received by the island with surprising guidance about how humanity can course correct.
