| From Sept. 29 to Oct. 1, Roy and Edna Disney CalArts Theater (REDCAT), CalArtsâ center for contemporary arts in downtown Los Angeles, presents Scene with Cranes, the new work from Octavio Solis, one of the most prominent Latino playwrights in America. In this world premiere production, a tight-knit East L.A. family is left shattered in the wake of their youngest sonâs mysterious death. Devastated, the mother searches for the truth by retracing her sonâs final steps. In Solisâ signature blend of classic and contemporary, he parallels Jean Sibeliusâ musical masterwork in a play of the same name. Exquisitely visceral, Chi-wang Yangâs direction of Scene with Cranes navigates the many avenues of loss, leaving us stranded in a meditation on grief. The program includes a pre-show talk with playwright Octavio Solis in conversation with director Chi-wang Yang on Saturday, Oct. 1, at 7:30 p.m. BUY TICKETS |
