Since its debut\, t he play has been produced internationally across Europe and Latin America\ , with productions in Germany\, Italy\, Greece\, Cyprus\, Chile\, Puerto R ico\, Peru\, and beyond. \nWhile SMILEY has become a global audience favor ite\, it has had only limited exposure in the United States\, with select Spanish-language productions in New York and Miami. Open Space Arts’ pro duction introduces this internationally celebrated work to Chicago audienc es\, offering a fresh opportunity to experience one of the most engaging c ontemporary queer love stories to emerge from the European stage. \nWhen ÁLEX leaves a voicemail for his ex\, it lands in the inbox of BRUNO—a s tranger. What begins as a wrong message turns into an unexpected connectio n between two very different men. As texts turn into calls\, and calls int o something more\, they navigate attraction\, vulnerability\, and the comp licated reality of modern love. \nFunny\, fast\, and disarmingly honest\, SMILEYexplores the thrill and risk of connection in a world shaped by scre ens\, expectations\, and the fear of being truly seen. \nGuillem Clua is o ne of Spain’s most widely produced contemporary playwrights\, whose work has been staged internationally and translated into multiple languages. H is plays\, including SMILEY and THE SWALLOW\, are known for their emotiona l intelligence\, wit\, and insight into the complexities of human connecti on. \nOpen Space Arts continues its commitment to bold\, intimate storytel ling that centers queer lives and voices with SMILEY\, a play that reflect s the company’s ongoing exploration of connection\, identity\, and the e volving nature of love.
