A-Squared Theatre presents a staged reading of
Face to the Sun
by Allison Minami
Directed by Leslie Ishii
Saturday, August 18 at 2:30 pm at Victory Gardens
Haunted by memories of his homeland and fearful of another war-driven imprisonment by the Cuban government, Hamada, an upstanding leader of the Japanese Cuban community, decides to uproot his family and return to Japan. But his daughter Flora is running with a guerrilla and Isabel, his Cuban wife, is no longer attracted to him. Each of them must make a choice about love and loyalty to both country and family. Set in Havana at the dawn of the Cuban Revolution, Face to the Sun is a lyrical, language-driven, play with a multicultural cast, including Karmann Bajuyo, Nydia Castillo, Michael Gomez, Diana Lee, Emily Marso, Tamika Lecheé Morales, Theresa Ro, Diego Sanchez, and Joe Yau.
Presented as part of the new play reading series at the 6th National Asian American Theater Conference and Festival (ConFest) organized by the Consortium of Asian American Theaters and Artists (CAATA).
