Vámonos

by Julissa Contreras

at INTAR Theatre

The Torres family of the Bronx are gathering at Juana’s apartment to celebrate the christening of her grandson, Christopher. It’s November 2002 and a year after 9/11, this hilarious, fun, close-knit Dominican family is navigating a new reality that challenges their sense of security— is America waging war in Iraq? When it’s time to party, the Torres’ still deliver – there’s definitely too much food, adults harangue their kids a little, cousins gossip and argue – and yet the comforts of home fall short. Something is up. This World Premiere of Julissa Contreras’ new play features bilingual dialogue meticulously woven to show the beauty, humor, and uncertainty of a life in this time, place, and comunidad.
