Blu
By Virgina Grise Directed by Cambria Herrera
blu is about whether a family living in a barrio can stay together and choose life, hope, and each other despite gang, military, and domestic violence. A young mother, Soledad, wrestles with what family can mean in the face of death and divorce. Her two-spirit partner reminds her of ancient traditions of reclamation and her 14-year-old daughter creates new realities through dreams of resurrection, offering Soledad a way forward. blu is a poetic re-telling of the eternal struggle between desire and war, violence and peace, and the sun and the moon... Join us for a performance underneath the telephone wires with a live DJ curating oldies, hip-hop, salsa, reggaeton, spoken word, and indigenous dance as we ask, “Why do we keep killing each other and our own dreams?”
