Inspired by Octavio Paz’s essay collection, The Labyrinth of Solitude, Evelina Fernandez’s acclaimed play explores universal themes of life, love and loss woven through the consciousness of multi-generations of Chicano life and culture. A wealthy and successful lawyer (Rivas) returns home for his mother’s funeral, whom he hasn’t seen in 20 years. There he revisits his past and those he left behind . The journey is led by Man (Beltran) a Paz-quoting limo driver and self appointed expert on love and accompanied by a live cello (Semyon Kobialka). Layered and richly theatrical, Paz’s themes are deeply explored in this ground-breaking piece. The eloquent phrasing and dynamic rhythms of the script’s poetry is well-matched by Valenzuela’s stunning visual pictures, silhouettes, and dance and slow motion sequences.
