AN ELEPHANT IN
THE ROOM

All entrances are closed...

A protest blocks the entrances to the busiest hospital in Panama City. Inside a storage room, four women who work there discover something unusual: a man wearing a hospital uniform has broken in to steal. No one can leave or enter. Who is he? What do they do with him?

This play by Panamanian artist Roberto Thomas-Díaz, winner of the 2022 Ricardo Miró Award, explores the challenges faced by healthcare workers within the current state of our health systems.
