By Monet Hurst-Mendoza

A co-production with WP Theater, The Sol Project and Long Wharf Theatre
Presented as part of LPC’s Legacy Project
Elena María Ramírez was born to be a torera, but it’s a rare feat for a woman in México’s bullfighting scene. In order to enter the ring, she must defy society, her family, and legendary torero Don Rafael Cárdenas. Torera is a dynamic, epic family drama that swirls with the action, stakes, and intrigue of the bullfighting ring.

CANCIONES

CANCIONES celebrates the value of honoring our past and looking to understand our current moment and the future. It shares a vision of how Mexican-Americans align our culture and history with our current artistic traditions. And in the spirit of “in lak’ech”, the Mayan phrase roughly translated to “you are the other me”, how we share and celebrate these traditions with each community we visit.
