Breaking the Binary Theatre Festival - Lupe Finds Me In The Garden Of Dreams

By Esperanza Rosales Balcárcel (she/they)
Directed by Adin Walker (they/them)

Featuring Clew (they/them), Marquise Vilson (he/him) and Samora la Perdida (she/they)

Estrella, a young trans playwright, is at a spiritual crossroads. She becomes the Old Hollywood actress Lupe Velez on the last night of her life to find the answers to her questions, and the two people who hold them are Anna May Wong and Gary Cooper, her lifetime's greatest relationships. Lupe Finds Me In The Garden Of Dreams spans years in cinematic history to raise the question: what are the costs to being a queer artist of color in today's industry, and what would happen if we found a way of creating ourselves and our work outside of it?
