May the heavens take her

May The Heavens Take Her is a one-act play that explores the conflicts of consciousness experienced by Mexican immigrants belonging to both sides of the U.S./Mexico Border. In the play, characters struggle to maintain a balance between both aspects of their identities and try to reconcile who they are with who they want to be. Often being privy to two worlds simultaneously, the audience is able to experience alongside the characters what it means to be someone stuck in the middle of two worlds. Additionally, the play relies on the use of, both, English and Spanish in order to underscore the flexibility of identity that an immigrant lifestyle demands. The bilingualism also serves to include audiences from either side of the U.S./Mexico Border in order to create a safe space for the discussion of the topic. This and other aspects and issues of the Border culture and immigration debate are present in the play in order to produce a dramatic work meant to continue exploring immigrant issues in the U.S/Mexico Border.
