It happens 7 p.m.-10 p.m. Thursdays-Sundays, Aug. 30-Sept. 14. From publicity:
“Home/Land” is an immersive journey along the paths of personal and collective memories. Within a context of critical instability, when displacement and forced migrations have caused many to leave their homes and everything they hold dear, audience members are each assigned a temporary unit in a fictional government-run shelter village called Lot 6B.
Actors are Pedro Dominguez, Jenni GreenMiller, Nurys Herrera, Ashley Song and Marissa Sanchez. It’s directed by Michael Cavazos.
