Spit in Your Face at Detroit Repertory Theatre

World Premiere Political Satire

by Paul Heller & Alberto Lomnitz

When an idealistic American producer hires Liliana—a young Mexican American woman of Indigenous descent—to assist a fiery, notoriously radical Mexican director, he thinks he’s building cultural bridges. Instead, he sets the stage for a theatrical battleground of egos and performative righteousness between the “anti-capitalist” producer and the “anti-colonialist” director. With Liliana caught in their crossfire, she must reclaim the narrative from the men who claim to speak for her.

This bombastic new work is a hilarious look at modern politics and absurd theatre.

This play has one fifteen minute intermission.
