New multimedia play development:
Puntos de Fuga
Puntos de fuga (Vanishing Points) is a full length interactive multimedia play set in an interrogation room where Amalia, a young maquila worker from Catemaco, Veracruz is being held for questioning in connection with the kidnapping of DEA Agent John Arenas. As the officer sets off to find incriminating evidence that links her to the drug cartel, Amalia reveals her supernatural powers as a means to keep a solemn vow of securing an American airplane (piloted by the fictional character of Amelia Erahart) in order to unearth the missing women in Juárez. The interrogation is existentially challenging to the interpreter, who is discomforted by its senseless brutality.
Written by Angeles Romero. First stage reading, December 2008, Talento Bilingue Theatre, Houston. Grant writing and script development, 2008-2009.
