Nuyorican playwright Desi Moreno-Penson boldly presents a world of magical realism for the next generation. In her three short plays, Genesister, Let Mezaluca Buy Your Car, and Dead Wives Dance the Mambo, the audience is immersed in a world of novella, film noir, and menacing mamboleros styles. "Snipped/Cut/Tied: Una Noche de Magia" takes the audience through a surrealist universe immersed in both levity and a scintillating darkness.
