BREAKDOWN
MORIR SONYANDO, by Erlina Ortiz, is a play about family and the grace we must choose to bestow on one another every day to stay alive. Genesis, an academic working her way through an Ivy League education, is proud of the fact that she’s survived her family’s dysfunction, if only just barely. But when her estranged mother, Paloma, is released from prison after a decade of incarceration, Genesis is forced to confront her involvement in the imprisonment and the life from which she has done her best to escape.
Seeking:
Paloma: Dominican. Mother in her fifties.
Genesis: Dominican. Daughter in her mid 20s-early 30s.
Felix: Dominican. Son in his early-mid 20s.
NOTE: The actors will be playing these characters at a range of different ages.
