Nuestra Pastorela returns to the Latino Cultural
Center with its family-friendly spin on a Mexican holiday
tradition! Written by Dallas’ own Jeffry Farrell and Cara
Mía’s David Lozano, this unique and zany adaptation of the
Mexican shepherd’s tale features all the usual suspects.
You’ll see the Angel Gabriel, the shepherds traveling to
Bethlehem, and the bumbling devils, depicted in the playful
style of the Mexican folk tradition, plotting the shepherds'
doom by tempting them with the seven mortal sins. When the
shepherds don the “smallest mask in the world” (the red clown
nose), chaos ensues and hilarity abounds with broad physical
comedy and slapstick. You won’t want to miss this
one-of-a-kind production for anyone who is a child at heart!
The
Farrell/Lozano team has collaborated for years to critical acclaim. One
of their first Cara Mía collaborations, To Die:Go in Leaves
by Frida Kahlo, was called “purely, intoxicatingly
theatrical” and named “One of the Top Ten Plays of 2003” by the
Dallas Morning News. Of Farrell/Lozano’s Nuestra Pastorela, the
Fort Worth-Star Telegram wrote, “magic needs no translation”.
