Presented in English, EL GRITO DEL BRONX is an electrifying story that will remind you of the power and immediacy of theatre to grab hold of your emotions and take you on a journey far away from the humdrum here and now.
The play opens on Lulu’s wedding day. She stands tall in her beautiful gown, gazing into the mirror. But she cannot look beyond the reflection of her youth and the violent legacy of her brother Papo. Her memories race from childhood to death row, from white dresses to orange jumpsuits, from murder to redemption. EL GRITO DEL BRONX is a shocking, shout out to hope that asks: How can we face the future if we can’t release our ties to the past?
EL GRITO DEL BRONX is an escape you won’t soon forget — and one you’ll be talking about for weeks to come.
