A theatrical multidisciplinary show with original songs, masks, puppets, visuals, and live music!
This show, which premiered in October 2021 with support from a grant from NYFA (The New York Foundation for the Arts) as part of the reactivation of New York City after COVID, reflects the journey of a Mexican woman who leaves her country to start anew in New York City after trauma. In her new home, she faces additional struggles as an immigrant. Yet, through these challenges, she discovers her resilience, true power, and strength.
Directed and produced by me, Diana Sophia—a singer and songwriter originally from Mexico—this work features my original music, popular Mexican repertoire, and collaborations with other Latin American artists, including puppeteers, mask makers, video creators, and musicians. This show not only showcases my artistic expression but also represents my bilingual identity, highlighting the rich cultural tapestry of the immigrant experience.
