In How to Melt ICE, playwright Amalia Oliva Rojas weaves together a tapestry of magical realism, Mexican mythology and authentic immigrant experience in a highly-stylized framework that explores the demands of familial love and the generational divide between "Dreamers" and those who carried them to the promised land. A chorus of three Tias (aunts) share family secrets and neighborhood chisme (gossip) with audience members, who will find themselves sometimes as allies, sometimes as a threat, while the choices of two cousins play out against the backdrop of what is now a decades-long American Tragedy. A co-production of Boundless Theatre Company and New Perspectives Theatre Company.
