amémonos // let us love each other by linda maria girón

Untimely. Uncertain. Unrequited. Unemployed. When newly discarded graduate Karina Inés makes an inconvenient pilgrimage back home, Kari is surprised to find Abuela Eulalia exactly as she was six years prior. Trapped between languages, time and house keys, Kari and Eulalia are confronted with a choice; reckon with ghost of a secret unrequited or lose each other in the haze of an uncertain future.

    “ I love this play. Alot. Linda has put together a gorgeous intersectional take on Queerness, the Latinx experience, and a dash of climate change. The story is incredible and deserves it's recognition as a standard for what can be done onstage in the modern era. ”
