What happens when the discourse of hate gains political clout? Are we that far removed from living the consequences of such a scenario? 

These are some of the brutal questions that underlie the New York premiere of La Construcción Del Muro”, the Costa Rican stage adaptation of Pulitzer and Tony Award winner Robert Schenkkan’s “Building the Wall”, co-produced by Teatro Espressivo and Teatro LATEA. The play exposes the effects of hatred against immigrants from Central America. What they encounter across the border might be more real than the public cares to accept.

New York Spanish premiere

After sold out seasons in Costa Rica, El Salvador and Spain, “LaConstrucción del Muro” arrives in Spanish to the U.S. The production brings together diverse Central American talents to lay bare the consequences of hate speech against Latino immigrants.  Winner of the Audience Award at the Miteu International Theater Festival, Spain, the play examines what happens when an ordinary person becomes part of the machinery of an oppressive political system and how the inconceivable becomes inevitable.
