Latino Theater Company presents Quarter Rican
by Gabriel Diego Hernández and Rachel Elmer
Developed and devised by Gabriel Diego Hernández
A young father in the playground, eleven-month-old baby in tow, engages another (unseen and unheard) parent in the park in a conversation about neighborhoods, fatherhood, and culture, processing some of his traumas and insecurities along the way as he tries to predict the factors that will shape his child’s Latinx identity. Meanwhile, his alter-ego, a swaggering hip hop jester named MC Plátano (accompanied by DJ Quenepa's virtuosic beatboxing and soundscaping) peels off to comment on the action, fill in some of the blanks, and ask us some difficult questions.
