Award-winning Austin-based theater company Glass Half Full Theatre will make their Los Angeles debut with the acclaimed drama Yamel Cucuy at Encuentro 2024, playing October 26 through November 8 at The Los Angeles Theatre Center.
Yamel Cucuy is the story of a girl on the precipice of adulthood, contending with the physical and metaphysical violence of borders. Yamel is hunted by immigration agents while haunted by specters from Mexican folklore. On the shadowy frontier between life and death, she forges her own spirit of courage and wisdom. Set to an original score of indigenous percussion, Yamel Cucuy blends sophisticated puppetry with live actors and draws upon frightening folk tales and modern horror movies to create a terrifying psychological landscape of pitfalls both legal and spiritual.

The Los Angeles Theatre Center is at 514 S. Spring Street, Los Angeles, CA.
