This adaptation of Arnold Wesker’s play that set the plot in a London West End caf\u00e9 is now adapted to modern times with a new drama that focuses on the dehumanisation of work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La Cocina’ is set in the kitchen of a famous tourist restaurant in the heart of Manhattan. In \u2018The Grill\u2019, one day money disappears from the cash register and everything points to Pedro as the main suspect, a rebellious dreamer who will trace an impossible love story with the waitress Julia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Mexican director portrays the extreme pressure and contemporary freneticism with which these workers live; revealing the power dynamics implicit in their work context. Situations that the director experienced personally when, while studying, he worked in a kitchen in London; a kind of reflection of his past, a tragicomedy set in a space that renders people invisible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
