Mi Abuela, Queen of Nightmares at The Tank
“Mi Abuela, Queen of Nightmares” written by Christine Stoddard premiere at The Tank in New York City as part of their 20th Anniversary Season.
Maya, a young Salvadoran-American, navigates trauma and family mythology through magic, joy, and folklore as she comes of age in Phoenix, Arizona. Her story explores mother-daughter relationships, mixed race identity, being the child of an immigrant, growing up without a father, and using fantasy as a coping mechanism. Owls, jaguars, and cacti make dream-like and delightful appearances. This original drama is a memory play with heightened language, originating from a poetry book. The dialogue is majority English, with select Spanish lines and songs that can be understood from context without subtitles or interpretation.
