MADENUSA
"All performances are in Spanish, with English surtitles available.
"MADENUSA" by Claudia Soroka is inspired by Fernández Tiscornia's play "Made in Lanús" (Made in Argentina), which premiered in 2011, and also addresses one of the various facets of the immigrant community. The story follows Mabel and Osvaldo, long-time residents of the United States, who invite “La Yoli” and "El Negro"* from Argentina in an attempt to restart an interrupted life. What happens when the world one left behind suddenly returns? With skill and sensitivity, honed by life itself, Soroka has created an entertaining, fresh, and appealing work that highlights the immigrant experience and delves into the complexities of adapting to a new culture. The play evokes the dilemma of those who left and their impact on those who stayed.
*A common Argentine term of endearment
There is a talk back with the dramaturgist after the performances on August 17th.
