Adult in its concerns, the play nevertheless captivates with its fairytale touches.
What does it mean that the arrival of a naked, pregnant woman with feral qualities coincides with the baby’s death?
Séptimo hungered for a son and sees in the stranger’s pregnancy an opportunity. He will have her baby one way or the other, and Isadora’s family will be none the wiser. His methods are both cruel and haphazard. First, he tries to shame Yolot into giving up her baby. Then he tries to coax her with kindness. Then falling back on cruelty, he shackles her. The longer Yolot’s mission takes, the more perilous it becomes for her.
She will try to persuade him to be the man she once believed him to be. Isadora and Séptimo’s conversation in the barn is a rich dance of coaxing. It replays their early courtship but also hints at Isadora’s shifting self-awareness. Their power dynamics are changing, even if Séptimo doesn’t see it.Small talk gives way to horror in “The Minutes” at Curious Theatre
For the briefest of moments, actor Camilo Luera allows his character a reprieve from his villainy. Even so, when Séptimo recounts the story of his upbringing as the unwanted son of a once generous father, it is not likely to elicit sympathy so much as confirm how early childhood trauma can create an unrepentant monster. His comeuppance, both amusing and wise, is a work of poetic genius and even compassion.“Wolf at the Door”: Written by Marisela Treviño Orta.
