Welcome to the Buenos Cruces, a town in a magical forest in the heart of Latin America—and the latest manufacturing location for Cantilever Inc., a multinational corporation that specializes in everything from sandals to cigarettes. But as his family settles into their new lives in the jungle, Cantilever Vice President John C. Dulk is mysteriously absent, leaving his wife, Julie, to navigate the challenges of keeping their family and the factory afloat in this strange and surreal setting.

A wildly theatrical send up of magical realism, The Irrepressible Magic of the Tropics is at once a farcical romp through Latin American history and literature and a critical exploration of capitalism, colonialism and US-led economic imperialism.
