The play is set in ancient Peru and tells the story of Ollanta, a warrior who falls in love with Cusi Coyllur, the daughter of the Inca king.

The play explores themes of love, loyalty, and honor as Ollanta struggles to navigate his feelings for Cusi Coyllur while also remaining true to his duties as a warrior. The play is notable for its portrayal of Inca culture and traditions, as well as its use of Quechua, the indigenous language of the Andes.
