El Grito del Bronx
By Migdalia Cruz
Directed by Anthony Moseley
On her wedding day, Lulu must confront her brother Papo's legacy of violence before she can feel entitled to happiness. Set in a poetic memoryscape that travels between the 1970s and 1990s—from childhood to death row, from white dresses to orange jumpsuits, from murder to redemption—Lulu and Papo discover that what binds them is not only the haunted darkness, but also the freedom to turn on the light. Collaboraction, Teatro Vista and the Goodman join forces to present this world premiere production, directed by Anthony Moseley.
This project is supported in part by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts which believes that a great nation deserves great art.
