Mother of Exiles at University of Washington School of Drama

The University of Washington School of Drama presents Mother of Exiles by Jessica Huang, a multi-generational exploration of migration, memory, and hope. Directed by MFA candidates Ren and Sebastián Bravo Montenegro, the play spans 150 years, intertwining the lives of a family navigating political upheaval across three distinct timelines: 1898 California, 1998 Miami, and a speculative future in 2063. With a cast featuring Eddie Loi as Karis Ho, Jerik Fernandez as Modesto/Braulio Loi, and Marena Kleinpeter as Midwife/Sarge/Karina López-Loi, this production reflects both the joy and the struggles inherent in human connection. Audiences are invited to consider the legacy of resilience and the shared journeys that shape our identities.
