Maya, a young Salvadoran-American woman, navigates trauma and family mythology through magic and folklore as she comes of age in Phoenix, Arizona. Her story explores mother-daughter relationships, mixed race identity, being the child of an immigrant, growing up without a father and using fantasy as a coping mechanism, while featuring movement and dance. Owls, jaguars and cacti also make dream-like and delightful appearances. This original drama is a memory play with heightened language, originating from a poetry book.

Maya, una joven salvadoreña-estadounidense, navega por el trauma y la mitología familiar a través de la magia, el gozo y el folclore durante su niñez en Phoenix, Arizona. Su historia explora las relaciones madre-hija, la identidad racial mixta, ser hija de un inmigrante, crecer sin un padre y usar la fantasía como mecanismo de afrontamiento. Búhos, jaguares y cactus hacen apariciones encantadoras y oníricas. Este drama original es una obra de memoria con un lenguaje elevado, procedente de un libro de poesía.
