Written by Karen ZacarÃas, Directed by Jerry RuÃz
Mariela and José were once the golden couple of the Mexican artist inner-circle. Together
they built a family and an artist colony to host friends like Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo,
and Rufino Tamayo. But now their daughter has grown and run away, Frida and Diego
are too famous to call, and artistic inspiration has been strangled by isolation and
mendacity. Set in an empty artists’ colony in the Mexican desert in 1950, this mystery
play reveals what happens to relationships when a long hidden family lie is exposed.
The production stars Zulema Clares (Best Actress Award at the Camaguey Theater
Festival) as Mariela, John Concado as Adam, Robert Hager (Bdwy: Bye Bye Birdie,
Spring Awakening) as Carlos, Maria Helán (Oliver Stone’s World Trade Center) as
Blanca, Alfredo Huereca (HOLA Best Actor and New York ACE Best Actor) as José,
and Teresa Yenque (Roundabout Theater Company, The Public, Lincoln Center) as
Oliva.
