AVAILABLE ROLES ÁLVARO
(Male actor 18+ to play teens). Puerto Rican. A moody teenager. Paranoid. Underneath it all, he is trying to
smuggle himself, and his secrets, into his own future. Everything he does is calculated to get himself there. One senses in him this process of calculation, you hear it for example when he pauses when he speaks. He is not sure he is doing this correctly. He is not even entirely convinced his future exists.
PATRIA
(Female Mid-30s) Neuyorican (Puerto Rican raised in New York). Lesbian. Arrives in Puerto Rico determined to be ethical, the adult who can resolve what Álvaro wasn't able to resolve during his lifetime. This often means trying to decide when to speak up and when to bite her tongue.
ANA
(Female Mid-30s) Puerto Rican. Conventionally pretty and considers that an accomplishment. Difference makes her impatient.
NÉSTOR / ALIEN OLDER BROTHER
(Male Mid 40s) Puerto Rican. A bear of a man. Prone to displays of sincere sentiment and equally sincere outbursts of violence. The violence is sudden, unpredictable to strangers and terrifying because he is not in control of it. Boyish and quite charming in moments, blank and unreachable in others.
OLGA / ALIEN MOTHER
(Female 60s- 70s) Puerto Rican. An old women with Alzheimer's. Before her dementia, Olga was a mother who happened to believe that a person who notices a problem is tantamount to being the person who created the problem.
BEBA
(Female 40s – 60s) Puerto Rican. The neighbor who walks in and out of the house without knocking. If she did knock it would be a bother to everyone and also strange. Speaks her mind and devoid of neurosis.
