←Recommendations of CHICANA LEGEND

An exciting play that uses video game tropes to tell a story about living up to the expectations of one's ancestors.

Chicana Legend is full of fantasy, fun, and feels. It welcomes you home into the inner life of a Legend in the making, and sends you off full of food for thought: what part do I play in my story, or in the story of others, what am I mything? Alexis Elisa Macedo delights and devastates in this essential and resonant story, and her blending of video games and electric story telling have me coming back for another play through.

To have the opportunity to see this play onstage is something I will never take for granted. Heart-wrenching, invigorating, and eye opening.
A story that needs to be told.

An explosion of fun and fantasy, while simultaneously hitting us with essential truths surrounding feminism, community, and identity. We discover and experience the hardships and confusions of growing up all over again, right next to Lulu. It's endearing and powerful, funny and poignant, loving and scathing. An essential read, an essential experience, an essential story.

If you need to see just how important theatre is as a medium in performing arts, look no further than Chicana Legend. It ties themes of storytelling across generations into a video game in a way that is so beautifully crafted, it brings you to tears and gets you thinking about your own history of myth, legend, and where you come from.
