The Irrepressible Magic of The Tropics

Julián Mesri, who co-adapted last year's Comedy of Errors for the Public Theater's Mobile Unit, satirizes the conventions of magical realism and the practice of economic imperialism in Latin America through this farcical tale of a woman left to run her husband's factory, an outpost of a multinational corporation called Cantilever—in a surrealistic jungle. Kathleen Capdesuñer directs INTAR Theatre's world-premiere production, whose cast includes include Octavia Chavez-Richmond, Reece dos Santos, Dario Ladani Sanchez, Keren Lugo, Lilian Rebelo and Katie Rodriguez.
