| Breakdown
New Fire: 3 elementos de consciencia
Written and Directed by Cherríe Moraga
Conceived and Designed by Celia Herrera Rodriguez
Assistant Director and Produced by Adelina Anthony
Choreography by Alleluia Panis
Music by Stephen Cervantes
Artisitic Director and Produced by Raelle Myrick-Hodges
With support from The Wallace Alexander Gerbode Foundation and the Williams Flora Hewlett Foundation Playwright Collaboration Awards 2009 initiative
Countering Hollywood’s doomsday predictions for 2012, New Fire marks the closing of the epoch by inscribing “a cosmic contract for a fundamental change in human consciousness.” The play -- performance and ceremony at once -- follows the sacred geography of Indigenous American mythologies to tell a 21st century story of rupture, migration and homecoming. It marks that moment in history when those much maligned female spirits return to the earth “to make things right again.”
VERO: Chicana/Latina/Native female, 40-55 years old.
EL CUENTISTA: Chicano/Latino/Native male, 40 years and older.
Both roles require good ‘native’ Spanish pronunciation (although the play is primarily in English).
