On Sunday, May 3, at 2:00 p.m. at Gunston Arts Center Theatre Two, Avant Bard will open Ghost Limb by Marisela Treviño Orta directed by Elena Velasco.
The story follows a mother's confrontation with authoritarianism. When Consuelo's son is taken by the government—desaparecido—she discovers a psychic link between her injured arm and her tortured child: a “ghost limb” that drives her to find him.
Set during Argentina's Dirty War and shaped by the myth of Demeter and Persephone, Ghost Limb delivers a poetic interrogation of authoritarianism in a story of loss, resistance, and a mother who refuses to let the state erase her son.
Performances run April 30 - May 23.
