A MULTI-GENERATIONAL STORY ROOTED IN MIGRATION, REBIRTH, AND HOPE
Set across three timelines-1898 California, 1998 Miami, and 2063 ocean-bound America-Mother of Exiles is a vivid, poetic journey through the lives of one family, shaped by waves of political upheaval and migration. As history repeats and reinvents itself, this deeply personal story asks: What are we doing-spiritually, socially, politically-to nurture life?
"The play presents this incredible life force that feels unstoppable," the directors shared. "Even through loss and sacrifice, new life insists on growing."
This Producing Artists Laboratory production is a first-of-its-kind collaboration between first-year MFA directors and designers and second-year MFA actors. That same intergenerational spirit is reflected on stage, where six actors carry the weight and joy of these layered, interconnected roles across eras.
