SUEÑO AND HIS Cage of Dreams
by Marisela Treviño Orta
DECEMBER 11-14
The Liberty Theater
Premiering as a staged reading, this brand-new bilingual play by National Latino Playwriting Award Winner Marisela Treviño Orta draws on Latin American and Indigenous mythologies rooted in Mexican and Peruvian folklore to tell a magical realist tale of family, identity, resistance, and hope.
Best friends Daniela and Luis discover a dark force has come to their small town bent on trapping the adults in a never-ending cycle of tireless work in pursuit of the American Dream. With help from a mysterious and mythological figure, the teens travel to the Dream World to try and free their parents.
Commissioned by The Liberty Theatre Company and developed in partnership with the Sun Valley Playwrights Residency, this play was made possible, in part, by a generous grant from the Spur Community Foundation.
