Los Angeles Theatre Center (Los Angeles, CA)
Set during the 2011 San Fernando massacre, in which 193 people were murdered by the Los Zetas drug cartel at the La Joya ranch in Tamaulipas, Mexico, Maria’s Circular Dance follows Maria, a Colombian migrant, and Angelito, her kidnapper. Together they whirl into a dance where dreams and reality, terror and courage, past and present become intertwined and ultimately dissolve as they begin to recognize themselves in each other’s faces. Maria’s Circular Dance testifies to the violence across the border between the U.S. and Mexico while examining metaphysical borders that create “both imaginary and real lines between people, cultures and geography” (Tucson Weekly).
