About the Play:
JOTA is a solo show that follows a young q***r Mexican Indigenous woman as she prepares to leave home and begin a new chapter. Through the objects she packs, she unearths memories that explore her identity, culture, and q***rness. A story of resilience, self-discovery, and the power of carrying our histories with us.
