Play and Talkback: The River Is a Scar That Sometimes Bleeds Water

Description

Written, directed and produced by Mónica Sánchez, this play tells the story of Negra, a Chicana-Geníara 21^st century combat veteran who has returned to her ancestral homeland in the Southwest. Psychotropic plant medicine launches her odyssey through a ceremonial and multi-generational labyrinth where she must confront ancestral trauma and original wounds. Quintessential New Mexican topography, histories and rituals illuminate universal echoes of colonization, war, and climate crisis making way for Negra’s ultimate transformation.  This play is her “trip.” Following the play, there will be a Q &A with Sánchez and the actors.
