This poignant drama by Rebeca Alemán is about a human rights journalist, Paulina, who has recently emerged from a coma and must recover her memory in order to achieve justice. All she remembers is having a mother and a daughter. Two characters fall into a world of violence where cruelty is a habit, impunity is routine, freedom a utopia, and telling the truth is the greatest risk. Water People Theater Co-Artistic Director Iraida Tapias directs.
