Drama. Recounts Cello Roldan’s mental battle with the guilt he feels for the accidental death of his brother. Cello is an inconsistently moral individual, aloof, ghostly. He does not want to get pulled into real relationships, including a real relationship to the memory of his brother. This relates to the question the play intends to present: Do we exist if we refuse to relate to anyone?
Seeking:
Cello: Italian, French or white Hispanic man. Age 35 in Act I, age 50 in Act II. Sexy, confident, unaware of his looks and the way clothes fit his lean body. His speech is dry and measured, despite the fever of the thoughts behind it. LEAD.
Carlito: Italian, French or white Hispanic man, 30s. No accent. Cello's brother. Motorcycle mechanic. Unapologetic about his lack of intellectual abilities. Muscular, with a face that strikes fear – but in reality, he is a calf looking for milk. LEAD.
Helena: Italian, French or white Hispanic woman, 35. No accent. College professor. Her gaze is soft and immobilizing. Her presence, strong and unpretentious, is a fusion of femininity and years of teaching. Her beauty lights up, unexpectedly, like a torch.
Eric: Italian, French or white Hispanic man, 28. No accent. Helena and Carlito’s son. Computer engineer. His look is a serious study in shabbiness. Uses clothes to defuse his strong body. The sum of his movements is ungainly and gives the impression of strength held under control. Feels a longing and incoherent desire to know about his father. LEAD.
Ms. Skelton: Caucasian woman, 40s. Personal shopper. Her face has an expression of bitterness that translates into a frozen smile. Has a distorted sense of reality. At times, a sparkle of life escapes trough her reading glasses.
