Corazon De Manzana September 3, 2011

Mortar Theatre Company present the World Premiere of 'Corazon de Manzana' by Dana Lynn Formby, directed by Jason Boat. Mixing realism, fantasy, and stylized choreography, 'Corazon de Manzana' intertwines the lives of three mother/daughter pairs living in Canada, the United States, and Mexico to the tragic femicide occurring in Juarez, Mexico. A desperate cry for help reaches across borders to begin an investigation into a mother's plea to find her missing daughter. As the discovery into the child's disappearance unfolds, the connections between suffering and privilege in the three countries come into dramatic and heart-wrenching clarity.
