THE MATHEMATICS OF LOVE to Open TheatreUSF's 2016-17 Season
The first show of the TheatreUSF 2016-17 Season -- The Mathematics of Love by Cherrie L. Moraga (with Ricardo Bracho) -- opens in the lobby of the Los Angeles Biltmore Hotel at the turn of the 21st century. Directed by Dora Arreola. For more information, click here.
At the top of the play Peaches, an aging (and mid-staged Alzheimer's) Mexican woman and her husband sit in the lobby of the hotel, awaiting the arrival of their son who is to throw them an anniversary party. Enter MalinXe, a 16th century indigenous woman, dolled up and trailing designer suitcases, who turns Peaches into her slave girl. Through Peaches' mind, the play spans five centuries of indigenous memory and geography from Pre-Columbian Mexico City to Mission-era California to contemporary Los Angeles.
