Overview

Terapia intensiva (Intensive Care) is a sharp, satirical 1984 Argentinian play written, directed, and starred by legendary comedian Antonio Gasalla. Set against the backdrop of Argentina's return to democracy, the show uses dark humor and social commentary to critique society's flaws, political transitions, and daily anxieties. Through a fast-paced series of sketches, Gasalla transforms into multiple caricatures and eccentric characters, supported by an avant-garde cast and an iconic original soundtrack composed by rock legend Charly García.
