a piece in the annual Playground: The Ode to the No Sabo. It's going to be taking place on December 6th in the Helen Wayne Rauh Theatre (in the Purnell Center for the Arts) @ 6:30PM. It's 45 minutes long.
Description: Through the container of paint and artistry, our play follows a white-Puerto Rican FSU art student refusing to grieve the death of his mother, visited by the spirits of his Abuela whom he's never met and his ancient cacique Taino ancestor, inhabiting his art. While focused on his final portfolio project, his ancestors grapple with his focus, lack of identity and denial, trying to teach him the meaning of his blood, culture and the values of family that come with it, while also combating with each other — a dark-skinned Taino coming to terms with his Spaniard skin descendants, and all three of them, fluent in different languages, moving mountains in themselves to speak the same language, and find common ground in what being Latino means today and through the ages.
