| After missing a train, a young immigrant waitress contemplates suicide on the subway platform at the 125th St station. What starts as an everyday indulgence, becomes a regression into her darkest fantasies, with elements of the detective story, melodrama, and the absurd. Floridita, My Love is a darkly comic nightmare about the invisible in America, set in the border crossings between the real and the imaginary, Harlem and Morningside Heights, Mexico and New York. | |||||

Synopsis: | Las minutas de Marti (Marti's Notes) is a delightfully perverse family portrait of the sons and daughters of the Puerto Rican left. Set in a distopian version of today's Puerto Rico, the play unfolds in the Del Valle household, where for the last ten years father has been missing, mother hasn't been outside and Marti hasn't spoken. The play begins when Marti's sister starts dating a businessman who looks, talks, and behaves just like their father. This production is part of the Van Lier Directing Fellowship at Repertorio Espanol. | |||||
