Show Synopsis
"Tales of a Broken Heart" is a true
story. Marcelo Illarmo began 2003 just a writer/comedian/waiter/telemarketer,
using his university degree to its fullest potential. Five days
later he was in the hospital, diagnosed with a serious heart condition.
"Tales of a Broken Heart" chronicles Marcelo’s initial
shock, his hospital adventures, the ramifications of his illness,
and his confrontation with mortality. Marcelo transforms from a
happy go lucky twenty-something to a man unable to complete household
chores, unable to eat his two favorite substances, salt and
caffeine, and even unable to raise his left arm over his head. Before
the audience’s eyes, Marcelo wrestles and ultimately conquers
weakness and depression with the only weapons he has, his sense
of humor.
Funny and heartfelt, poignant and hilarious, touching and uplifting,
"Tales of a Broken Heart" proves that not even a half
exploded heart can stop a crazy Guamanian with a Ukulele from cracking
you up.
"Tales of a Broken Heart" was written by Marcelo Illarmo and Greg Reimann and features original music by The Lo Sodium Hookers.
