Description

Willy Loman is a business traveler who has given all his effort and his professional career to the company he works for. His only objective is to give a better life to his family, his wife and two children, who adore him and to those who want to instill in them the ambition to succeed and progress in the social ladder. Indefatigable worker, now, at sixty-three years old, exhausted and exhausted after a life without rest, he sees how his position in the company is shaking. Their sales are no longer what they were and their productivity plummets, which causes the relationship with their bosses to become unsustainable. Their marriage is also not going well, and the relationship with their children hides an old secret that fills them with resentment and threatens to destroy family stability. All this leads him to a spiral of depression and self-destruction, in which his only support is his self-sacrificing wife, the only one who seems to understand him. As events become more complicated and his dreams fade away, everything rushes towards a tragic end to which the vanquished traveler seems inexorably doomed. The cruelty of a savage capitalism in which the human being is only worth what he is capable of producing, the frustration of unfulfilled dreams, the inability of parents and children to express their love, the complex relationships between couples, and the need to succeeding and being accepted by others are the axes on which this masterpiece of dramaturgy pivots contemporary, a devastating reflection on the human being that, like a good classic, is as relevant today as when it was written in the middle of the last century.
