Lo siento, mi español es tremendo mal.

Recommended by

  • Alexander Perez: Lo siento, mi español es tremendo mal.

    A fabulous one person piece that explores language, culture, and identity through an achingly familiar lens. Urrutia deftly blends both English and Spanish both to great poetic and theatrical effect. Simple and effective.

    Culture is beautiful. It's also messy, filled with "rules" both spoken and unspoken. Urrutia's monologue is stunning and heartfelt, asking what does it mean to truly belong, and how do you connect with those closest to you despite words themselves being a barrier? A fantastic read. It would be amazing to see performed live.
