 - Fandangos are vibrant gatherings in which music and dance bring stories of a community to life. For a group of immigrants gathering in a community center on the eve of a city-wide ICE raid, this night’s fandango serves a vital purpose: to resurrect the culture they left behind. Inspired by interviews with immigrants from Latin America – many of whom made a dangerous journey to the United States – Fandango for Butterflies (and Coyotes) is a celebration of the resiliency and camaraderie that can be built as strangers become friends, friends become family, and the music plays on. This “rapturous” and “riveting“ new play is a “sensitive portrait of the in-between: characters balancing the small joys of everyday life with the fear of uncertainty” (The New York Times). -

 - Los fandangos son reuniones muy alegres en los que la música y la danza dan vida a las historias de una comunidad. Para un grupo de inmigrantes que se reúnen en un centro comunitario en la víspera de una redada de los agentes de ICE por toda la ciudad, el fandango de esa noche tiene un propósito muy importante: recuperar la cultura que dejaron atrás. -

 - Inspirado en entrevistas con inmigrantes de Latinoamérica, muchos de los cuales hicieron un peligroso viaje para llegar a los Estados Unidos, Fandangos para mariposas (y coyotes) es una celebración de la resiliencia y la camaradería que se puede construir cuando los extraños se vuelven amigos, y los amigos se vuelven familia, mientras la música sigue sonando. -
