La Cama Vacia/The Empty Bed, is a performance piece presented on December 1st, 2020 to mark World AIDs Day and Day Without Art. Written and directed by David Acosta The Empty Bed, is an elegy and a tribute to love, desire, death and the loss of thousands of gay men during the worst years of the AIDS epidemic, a loss of life among gay men coming of age in the late 70s, 80s, and 90s, in what came to be called the Lost Generation, men who came of age during a time of incredible loss, where death was a constant presence, as well as fear and anger at the lack of response from the government. The piece also celebrates the resilience of homosexual men who in the midst of this devastating epidemic never stopped loving, fighting, and who knew how to rescue desire in all its forms despite society's hatred and indifference.
