1 Week until EL SILENCIO ÁRIDO DEL AGUA!

Get your tickets now!

Performances from August 5–16 (Previews August 5 and 6)

A family living in rural Puerto Rico is experiencing a drought topped by a heat wave. New neighbors’ eccentric water use leaves the family without water, prompting them to investigate and leading to unexpected consequences. New technologies, colonialism, and the water crisis swirl with poetry and create confusion about what is real or imaginary in a survival situation. It is a surreal line between tragedy and comedy.

Using elements of realism, magical realism, and surrealism, the piece raises questions about the true meaning of progress, the enduring human costs of colonization, and the inequity of access to natural resources. Who really pays the price? Are we willing to put our lives on the line to claim back what is ours?
