Immersion Play

Megan le pide a su novio mexicano, Domingo, que solo hable español con ella para prepararse para un viaje a la Ciudad de México. La experiencia de hablar su idioma con la mujer que ama lo impulsa a contar algunos grandes secretos. *** Megan asks her Mexican boyfriend, Domingo, to only speak Spanish with her to help her improve her beginner language skills for their upcoming trip to Mexico City. The experience of speaking his native language with the woman he loves prompts him to start telling her some big secrets. Alternating between Spanish and English, this play restricts subtitles or translation in performance, forcing the audience to play insiders and outsiders--depending on how much they speak of each language. IMMERSION PLAY is a bilingual theatre piece about a complicated, intercultural relationship between a Mexican man and a woman from the United States.
