This Saturday, a play that fills the theater with uncomfortable questions, sharp silences, and truths heavier than any formula returns to the stage. Relativity stars Gabriela Toscano and Luis Machín, directed by Carlos Rivas. Performances run Fridays at 10 PM, and Saturdays and Sundays at 8 PM at Teatro Picadero.

What begins as a friendly interview with Albert Einstein on a cold afternoon in 1949 gradually twists into a verbal duel that is as elegant as it is unsettling. Nothing is what it seems, and every word matters. With the atmosphere of a psychological thriller and relentless tension, the play dives deep into the most human layers of the most famous genius of the 20th century. Secrets, guilt, memory, and a revelation that unsettles and shakes.

Specialty coffee, artisanal pastries, and an all-day brunch with waffles, French toast, bowls, and healthy, veggie, and gluten-free options take center stage in this plan. Barbas New York is the new gastro spot in Olivos making waves—not only at night with music and street food, but also on Sundays with its Sunday Coffee proposal, from 8 AM to 8 PM.

This place brings the full Brooklyn spirit to the northern suburbs: industrial aesthetics, burgers with a custom blend, wood-fired pizzas, tacos, and veggie options paired with a signature cocktail menu that reinvents classics like the Negroni and the Old Fashioned, plus a tiki menu that’s pure show. If you’re a beer fan, you’ll feel right at home too: IPAs and Argentine craft beers round out the experience.

Good to know: the brand has other locations, but the Olivos spot is the only one with full café service.
