Embodying the Island is an immersive theatrical experience starting Maria Luísa Marin with interactive installation art by Ana Paula Teixeira. It derives from their upcoming surreal, experimental short film “The Unraveling” which is an experimental short film written by María Luisa Marín and Ana Paula Teixeira. Contributing to the de-colonization of theatre, we explore the Ritual. Speaking from traumas of childhood caused by misogynistic behavior in our Puerto Rican households, we share the story of “Marina” in her abysmal adulthood seeking answers for her own growth. The piece is bilingual, and it takes place between the river, the dream world, and the idea of home.
