SUMMARY
Zoetrope is an innovative, hybrid theatrical experience that intertwines film and theater to delve into Puerto Rico’s political landscape. Inspired by real letters between Lares and Manhattan, the play follows the story of Severino, a military postal worker who emigrates to New York in the 1950s in search of a better life. Then it tells the story of his widow, her sister, their son, the playwright René Marqués, and el Grito de Lares. Through a fragmented narrative that mixes flashbacks, parallel cuts, and live video, Zoetrope brings to life generations of a working family marked by love, politics, and loss, and offers a kaleidoscopic view of rootlessness and memory.
Presented in English and Spanish, with supertitles in both languages.
