Overview
By Karen Zacarias
Directed by Bruce K. Sevy

In 1950 in the desert of Northern Mexico, a daughter returns home to make peace with her dying father. Her mother, Mariela, must navigate the thorny relationships she has with her daughter and husband, both accomplished painters. What is the shrouded painting that is the only artwork in their house? Why does the ghost of Mariela’s other child keep coming back to visit her? This play, full of passionate emotions and familial drama, looks at what it takes to be an artist.  Read full synopsis.
