The first play of our 2024-25 Season.

Alebrijes: or Ridiculous Beautiful Beasts

BY GEORGINA ESCOBAR
Originally commissioned by Milagro, in Portland, Oregon

RUNS OCT 17 - NOV 3, 2024
DIRECTED BY MARC PINATE

Sponsored by Clay Shirk

When a young couple discover the largest Día de los Muertos altar they’ve ever seen, magic begins permeating their world. A little creature, known as an alebrije, sweeps into the room and takes the bride’s imagination, merging past and present in this playful homage to Pedro Linares, the creator of the alebrije. Set in present-day San Luis Potosí, in Xochimilco in 1936, and in an afterlife that looks rather like a psychedelic Oaxacan jungle, young Pedro realizes his artistic potential and creates a cultural legacy. Alebrijes celebrates the beauty and absurdity of life, art, and love, and invites us to consider that death is not a severance, but an evolution.

THIS PERFORMANCE WILL BE ON THE MAINSTAGE OF THE S&S THEATRE.

A coproduction with Tucson Meet Yourself and Borderlands Theater.

Originally commissioned by Milagro, in Portland, Oregon.
