La Mariposa

La Mariposa is a solo devised work about a girl who has forgotten her name. In her bedroom, she howls folklórico vocals and dances bachata. At the borderlands, she cries for her deities.

WHY and HOW Are Not in the Picture
by Monique Holt

Performed in ASL with open captions

7pm

WHY and HOW s a multi-sensory experience for hearing and d/Deaf/HoH audiences performed entirely in American Sign Language. Competing voices struggle to construct meaning inside a Deaf Brain, resulting in an absurdist musical enhanced by projected captions, sound, and dynamic lighting elements.
