Ana Morgana, an immigrant, a castoff, but, above all, an artist, transcends her everyday reality by imagining herself a star: La Lupe. Singing the famous woman’s songs, retelling the diva’s troubled life as if it were her own, Morgana creates her identity by remembering someone else’s. Conceived and directed by Sándor Menéndez, written by Rey Andújar, and inspired by the life of the incomparable Lupe Victoria Yolí Raymond, better known as La Lupe, the Queen of Latin Soul, La gran tirana (descarga dramática) explores the journey of the artist as immigrant and art, especially music, as homeland. 90 minutes with no intermission. Performed in Spanish with English supertitles.
Goodman Theatre’s 100 Free Acts of Theater will sponsor tickets to one FREE performance on May 30th at 8pm. Stick around afterwards for a post-show discussion and reception.
