Set in the Dominican Civil War of 1965, Campo is a dramedy exploring the search for identity and freedom.One Performance Only*Please note, this reading will be presented entirely in Spanish.-﻿-Campo es el capítulo final en una trilogía (La Luz de un Cigarrillo y Barceló con Hielo siendo las otras obras) cuya historia se desarrolla durante la breve e impactante guerra civil dominicana de 1965. La historia sigue a una familia provinciana de la isla, que, bajo la mano dura de una matriarca espiritista y tradicionalista insistente en que todos eviten involucrarse en la guerra, descubren en su patio a un soldado dominicano-americano herido y luchando en el lado de los americanos. Campo examina la política y sociedad dominicana durante la breve Guerra Civil desde la perspectiva del núcleo íntimo de una familia y un confundido joven que defiende el lado opuesto. A través de una guerra sumamente desorientadora y un choque de culturas, este drama-comedia explora la búsqueda de identidad, libertad y representa un lugar y tiempo donde el cambio es el único constante.-﻿-Campo is the final work in a trilogy (Ashes of Light and Barceló on the Rocks being the other two connecting works) and takes place during the Dominican Civil War of 1965. The story follows one provincial family, who, under the ironfist rule of a traditionalist and spiritualist matriarch who insists they avoid any involvement in the war, discover a wounded Dominican American soldier, fighting on the American side, in their backyard. Campo examines Dominican politics and society during the short lived Civil War as seen through the lens of an intimate relationship between a family and a confused young man fighting on the other side. Through a highly disorienting war and a clash of cultures, this dramedy explores the search for identity, freedom, and depicts a place and time where change is the only constant. -﻿-Featuring: Yohanna Florentino, Arisleyda Lombert, Francis Mateo, Altagracia Nova, Mario Peguero, Cindy Peralta, Diana Pou, Fernando ThenCreative Team: playwright MARCO ANTONIO RODRIGUEZdirector MARCO ANTONIO RODRIGUEZdramaturg &amp; dialect coach YOLANNY RODRIGUEZproducer JIAWEN HUexecutive artistic director MINO LORAmanaging director BOB BRASWELL
