Cuban-Venezuelan-American playwright Yara Travieso's new musical El Ciclón is a wild, neo-feminist saga within a 1950s B-movie psychological thriller, featuring singing, dancing and just enough alligators to keep things interesting.
El Ciclón tells the story of a woman stranded with her car in the swampy South during a harsh storm. With music from acclaimed composer, librettist and TDPS faculty member Sam Crawford, El Ciclón is a unique and innovative production that combines cinema with live theater for an immersive, original exploration of what it takes for us to connect with the land and with each other.
Presented by the UMD School of Theatre, Dance, and Performance Studies.
