From migrations to indigenous mythologies to subway stories, the company’s repertoire explores a growing mosaic of Latino experiences and identities. Their mission focuses not only on creating and performing original musical theater and plays grounded in Puerto Rican and Latino cultures, but also allowing art to be an avenue for civic engagement.
