CASA FUEGO at McCadden Theater

A Handmade Mansion, sheltering a First Generation Latinx/e Family – filled with Clairvoyance, Expectations, and a Violent Incandescence that has been in brew for centuries. Will a Visitor from the Past – the Root of all their Heightened Conditioning – Spark more Turmoil? Or, can they Extinguish their Turbulent Ways for Good? “Casa Fuego” opens Saturday, June 8 at the McCadden Theatre Place as part of the Hollywood Fringe Festival.

The narrative revolves around Vergara and Salma, sisters whose turbulent relationship drives the plot. As they gear up for a double date with Ruben and Gabriel, tensions simmer fueled by their contrasting personalities. Vergara's carefree spirit contrasts with Salma's soulful nature, causing them to drift apart despite their familial bond. Meanwhile, their parents, Guzman and Flori, along with detached brother Esteban, worsen the family discord. Conflicts escalate during the evening, with Flori's clairvoyance hinting at danger. Armed with this knowledge, the sisters brace for the peril of their date. However, a divine intervention disrupts fate as a visitor from their past arrives to mend their bonds. Through this transformative experience, they discover the power of unconditional love, breaking down barriers. CASA FUEGO blends drama, comedy, and mysticism, delving into family dynamics.

“CASA FUEGO is being brought to life because it's deemed vital. Within the Latinx Culture, there are entrenched cycles that perpetuate harmful patterns affecting everyone involved. These include domestic violence, both physical and verbal, as well as the sexualization of inherited neuroses. Additionally, there's a pervasive fear of the unknown stemming from historical and personal traumas, impacting both physical and mental health,” exclaimsAmaya Navaro. “However, amidst these challenges, there's also immense beauty to celebrate within the culture. Customs marked by grace and selflessness, manners that convey love and respect, and a work ethic coupled with clairvoyance capable of monumental achievements. With these aspects in mind, the CASA FUEGO Cast/Crew are enthusiastic about sharing this story with the world.” Ages 15+
