CONFESSIONS OF A MEXPATRIATE Plays Teatro Paraguas This Weekend
Teatro Paraguas presents Confessions of a Mexpatriate, an original one-man performance. ...Mexpatriate depicts the misadventures of a man who embarks on a journey across Mexico in search of his life's meaning, and in a discovery of what it truly means to be Mexican-American.
Mexpatriate takes the audience on the adventure of one heavily-American-media-saturated man, embarking on a passage across Mexico, in which he comes to embrace the beauty of the culture and what Mexico means to Mexican-Americans. A memory and a fantasy, scary and welcoming ... these are just a few of the aspects of this comedic look at a soul-searching experience. Mexpatriate is portrayed by actor Mical Trejo and is directed by Ken Webster. Both Trejo and Webster are award-winning theater artists.
"We want the audience to view the struggles, discoveries and beauty that come with being Mexican-American in both the U.S. and Mexico," says Argos MacCallum, artistic director of Teatro Paraguas. "Confessions of a Mexpatriate offers exactly that."
Mexpatriate runs this weekend, Feb. 6-8, Friday-Saturday, 7:30 p.m., and 2 p.m. Sunday at the Teatro Paraguas, 3205 Calle Marie Suite B, Santa Fe, New Mexico 87507. Admission is $12 for students and seniors; general admission is $15. For reservations, call 505-424-1601, or email teatroparaguas@gmail.com.
