by Guadalís Del Carmen

Zoila has had her entire life planned and laid out for her by her family, and society. She finds herself at a crossroads when she falls in love with a friend from the past. When tragedy hits, she decides to risk it all. Leaving everything behind, she meets two ancestral figures and together they embark on a journey that makes Zoila question everything she was ever taught.

    Talk about epic!!!! Wonderful, creative, and forces the audience to find ~amor.~ What G. Del Carmen does with this piece is take the traumas we face as POC and teaches us how to overcome them! This is not only a beautiful work of art but a cultural anthropological study! This is perfect for anyone interested in cross-cultural stories that authentically represent all people despite race, color, and creed. BRAVA!

    A beautiful shero's tale that leaves you thinking about Zoila and her journey for days. The battle with White Jesus is scary and essential, and left me with chills. Some believe there are no perfect endings, but this play left me "balanced, both internally and externally."
