Little Casa Theater (Los Angeles, CA)
Magical realism comes to the stage in Sparkles and the Black Weeping Woman, a mystery that combines marriage, mysticism and nationalism into a heady brew. The play revolves around Sparkles, a poor, 18-year-old Latina woman being pressured to marry a man from a corrupt family. Sparkles is soured on marriage and the expectations of society, but that all changes when she meets the legendary La Llorona, who urges Sparkles and other women escape from their entrapment and danger. This production strikes at the hearts and imagination of all women, creating an eye-opening night of theater.
