But after years of caution, a daughter reveals their secret to the man she loves with tragic consequences. Blending magical realism and Mexican mythology, How to Melt ICE weaves a haunting tale of love and loss filled with the indomitable spirit of those who dare to dream.Amalia Oliva Rojas is one of 3,000 New York City-based artists to receive $5,000 through the City Artist Corps Grants program, presented by The New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA) and the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs (DCLA), with support from the Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment (MOME) as well as Queens Theatre.City Artist Corps Grants was launched in June 2021 by NYFA and DCLA with support from the Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment (MOME) as well as Queens Theatre.
