About the Event
Award-winning writer/director Yara Travieso’s magical-tropicalist production is filmed in front of live audiences and edited in real time. El Ciclón features Ava, whose car is stranded amidst the swampy waters of South Florida, while a feminist pirate radio station reports of a looming hurricane about to hit the area. Ava soon faces an impossible moral decision. With music from acclaimed composer, librettist and TDPS faculty member Sam Crawford, El Ciclón is an embodied awakening out of the trance of patriarchal and colonial dominance & disconnection, and into our interconnected nature.
