Nancy: An Elegy in Three Parts explores justice, transformation, and grief through the story of a young woman murdered on New Year’s Eve 1994 in Barranquilla, Colombia. Her father spent 26 years searching for her killer. When the man was finally found in Brazil, living under a false name with a wife and children who knew nothing of his past, his wife publicly defended him—despite his past, she insisted, he was now a good man and an exceptional father.

The play brings these two perspectives into collision: the father who never stopped seeking justice, and the wife defending the man her husband had become. Through three distinct theatrical styles—hyper-realistic domestic drama, stylized confrontation, and expressionistic memory—it holds space for impossible questions about punishment, change, and what we owe to victims of violence.

In November 2025, this piece was workshopped at ID Studio Theater in the Bronx . Over 29 hours, we worked through improvisation and experimentation, building scenes collaboratively and testing the three-part structure. This workshop was supported by the Ministerio de las Culturas, las Artes y los Saberes de Colombia.
