Description
Written by Carlos Alberto Valencia Synopsis A swarm of insects is expected to descend upon a rural town near Lake Erie, New York, carrying a deadly virus. The insects breed in the ground and, once every ten years, take flight and descend across the region. Ramona, a transgender woman, is the proud owner of “Ramona’s Flowers,” a charming florist shop that is her home and at present, her refuge. Carl Sanchez, a Colombian guy’s guy, has lived in this rural town for nearly three years but has had difficulty connecting with the tightly knit community. Today, Ramona and Carl are pulled together under the grim, almost supernatural, specter of the deadly insect swarm, and are pushed to reimagine who they are at heart and calibrate their moral compass. This reading will be presented in English. Directed by ‣ June 8 to June 11, 2023 Every year, our incubator culminates in our Staged Readings Series, a week-long festival presenting our exciting curation of national and cross-continental contemporary writers. Our readings fuel the genesis of theater: the playwright. The selected texts showcase an eclectic array of dramaturgy that spans several themes and styles, that are all unique in bending traditional playwriting conventions. Each presentation is always followed by a talkback featuring playwrights, directors, and actors in which we invite audiences to share their thoughts and ask questions. IATI Theater continues its commitment to developing new works by presenting its twenty third season of Cimientos, a play development program that has given hundreds of playwrights the foundations to explore their vanguardia through developmental workshop-panels and staged readings. |
