Lost Arroyos follows several characters as they explore separate worlds of cultural struggles, race boundaries, and blurred identities. Told through contemporary modern dance, parallel narratives, videography, poetry, and dialogue, the play begins as Kye, a writer, has recently moved to the heart of an unknown Latino Southwestern community. Kye soon meets the neighborhood watch, Diamond, who guides her away from her own preconceived notions of Hispanic culture, and into a world that is diverse, rich and gentle. The dancers, who play a chorus of Spanish speaking children, fills the stage with playful gestures, dance, and sound, often intertwining Diamond and Kye within their movements. The film footage journeys audiences on a visual quest, intertwining both the play’s story and a moving Southwestern landscape. On the other side of the Rio Grande, Kye’s best friend, Ovid, a would-be film star, has lost his own world to a painful cycle of crystal methamphetamines. Ovid hitchhikes to Tennessee to follow his favorite country musicians and live outside the Grand Old Opry. Dolly, Ovid’s drug visionary, and the story’s comic relief, eventually guides Ovid gently back to the safety of Kye. In Lost Arroyos the abstract movement often becomes the unspoken emotional landscape, shaping the narrative with frenetic rhythms, tangled partnering, and abrupt stillness. Cultural worlds are explored and divided, alongside the collaborative artistic elements of movement, word, audio, and images, portraying a diverse portrait of the American spirit.
