La Vida En Los Esclavos Unidos April 17, 2011

This production is performed solely in Spanish., no English translation available. Saulo Garcia, author and performer, states that "this show shares the stories of immigrants that finally understood that it is better to be 'scraping by' in the United States than 'scraping by' elsewhere; of those that already had their first foreclosure and learned to do those things that were inimaginable in their countries such as: paint the house, clean the roof with a water pressure machine or install a toilet in the bathroom." With outstanding humor, 'La vida en los Esclavos Unidos' ('Life in the United Slaves') touches on themes such as the financial crisis, healthcare in the U.S.A., immigrants' jobs and the lifelong trauma left after the interview for a visa at the U.S. Embassy. The production uses modern video projections to bridge the different episodes and themes.
