In this adaptation by Luis Alfaro, Oedipus seeks to rewrite his destiny and escape the fateful prophecy that looms over him. Directed by Loretta Greco, this production explores themes of love, family, and the struggle against predetermined fate, blending ancient myth with contemporary issues and vibrant Chicano culture.
