Latino Theater Company presents Yamel Cucuy

Written by Gricelda Silva, Indigo Rael, and Caroline Reck; additional writing by Jesus I. Valles, Connor Hopkins
Directed by Caroline Reck
Developed and devised by Glass Half Full Theatre

Yamel Cucuy is the story of a girl on the precipice of adulthood, contending with the physical and metaphysical violence of borders. Yamel is hunted by immigration agents while haunted by specters from Mexican folklore. On the shadowy frontier between life and death, she forges her own spirit of courage and wisdom. Set to an original score of indigenous percussion, Yamel Cucuy blends sophisticated puppetry with live actors and draws upon frightening folk tales and modern horror movies to create a terrifying psychological landscape of pitfalls both legal and spiritual.
