Knowledge is Power!
“The absence of something can be a heavy burden, and eventually not knowing the details of her parents’ early lives became unbearable for Marissa Chibas. In Daughter of a Cuban Revolutionary, which CalArts recently provided in a short-run, evocative production at its REDCAT space in Disney Hall, writer-performer Chibas dramatizes her one-woman journey into a familys extraordinary past.
Like Dan Evans simple set – a raked, sand-covered square beneath a narrow, wing-spanning projection screen of pegboard – Chibas story incorporates powerful symbols. Broken radios, spectacles, a microphone, a blind man and some massive parade ground loudspeakers advance her personal story of discovery as they resonate an underlying theme of communication.”
