Cuentame Coyote

  • 24 May 2014
  • 7:30 PM - 10:30 PM
  • Gesa Power House Theatre
Journey through cold and dark desert nights with two cousins desperately dreaming of a better future beyond the iron fence that marks la frontera. Fleeing sorrow and hopelessness, they follow coyotes with two legs and four, stepping over dried bones scorched by the sun, chased by the wind that murmurs tales of Santa Muerte. Amid the dangers that lurk, ready to pounce, in that arid expanse they risk their lives with no one to trust but each other. Will their steps lead to the dreams they seek or vanish in the desert sands like so many before?

Shakespeare Walla Walla hosts Milagro Theatre in their performance of "Cuéntame Coyote", on Saturday, May 24, at 7:30pm at the Gesa Power House Theatre.

"Cuéntame Coyote", a bilingual play written and directed by Dañel Malán, was developed after an intensive research trip to the Tohono O’odham reservation in Arizona. Sacred stories combined with migrant tales of the dangers of dehydration, snake bite and scorpions in the desolate 100 degree desert heat fuel the storyline of this new Milagro work.

Erubiel Valladares plays the title role of Coyote. Ajai Terrazas Tripathi and Alida Holquín Wilson-Gunn are the two cousins and Mariel Sierra plays various roles.

"Cuéntame Coyote" is enjoyable for both English- and Spanish-speaking audiences.

Milagro Theatre provided extraordinary Latino theatre, culture and arts education experiences for the enrichment of all communities. Since its founding in 1985, Milagro has given a primary voice to issues affecting the local and national Latino community, and has introduced a host of new performers to the local arts and education field. The company’s touring and education venture tours the nation with original bilingual theatre productions and educational residencies. Current global issues are crafted into cutting edge dramatic plays infused with Latino culture and Spanish language. Since 1989 the touring program has provided culturally appropriate arts education & engagement programs that further Latino participation in the arts and building appreciation for culture.
