CARLOTTA is searching. For her lost luggage. For a final end to her marriage.
And for her connection to Teresa, a 16th century nun. She is not prepared
for who she becomes after discovering Teresa’s Ecstasy.

In TERESA’S ECSTASY, Carlotta’s return to Barcelona has two purposes. It’s a stopover on the way to Avila, where she is researching an article on St. Teresa, a 16th Century nun. It’s also to serve her husband Andrés with divorce papers. Over a sumptuous lunch of wine and gazpacho, Andres fights to rekindle their relationship. But Carlotta is on a quest for the divine, and in the process of discovering the mystical Teresa’s Ecstasy, she discovers herself. TERESA’S ECSTASY is a sexually charged look at politics, religion and, ultimately, love.

TERESA’S ECSTASY will challenge beliefs in politics, religion, sexuality and what it means to be alive in this multi-cultural world in which we live. It is funny, thought-provoking and deeply moving.
