MDCA Away from Home: ARCA Images presenta “Kassandra” de Sergio Blanco

ARCA Images and Miami-Dade County Auditorium, in partnership with Roxy Theater Group, presents “Kassandra” by Sergio Blanco and directed by Carlos Celdrán on October 16-19 and October 25 & 26 at Westchester Cultural Arts Center. 

Bajo la dirección del prestigioso director teatral Carlos Celdrán, “Kassandra” ofrece una fusión única entre el mito clásico y la realidad contemporánea. La obra reimagina a la legendaria profetisa griega Kassandra como una inmigrante transgénero en la Europa actual, que lucha por sobrevivir en los márgenes de la sociedad. A través de su inglés rudimentario pero elocuente, Kassandra vende productos de contrabando mientras comparte su historia personal y la universalidad de la experiencia del desplazamiento.
