I'm astonished at the number of themes and questions Solis brings so elegantly and eloquently into this relatively short work--the varied experiences of Mexican immigrants to the U.S. ("illegal," first generation, here by desire, here because of someone else's dreams, etc."); violence, love and understanding/misunderstanding among family members; the meaning of sex and love, the power of each independently and when they merge or collide; the importance of voice, what it means when one can or can't speak, when one can or can't be understood and who can or can't understand one other; the role of language, and how that changes depending upon when and how it can be shared, who has fluency, who controls when which language(s) are used; and ultimately what does it mean to be alive and what are the limitations and affordances of our corporeal and mental selves.

Drama / 4m, 3f Set in the 1970s on the Texas border separating the United States and Mexico, Lydia is an intense, lyrical, and magical new play. The Flores family welcomes Lydia, an undocumented maid, into their El Paso home to care for their daughter Ceci, who was tragically disabled in a car accident on the eve of her quincea era, her fifteenth birthday. Lydia's immediate and seemingly miraculous bond with the girl sets the entire family on a mysterious and shocking journey of discovery. Lyd Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
