Ruby Nelda Perez, and playwright Rodrigo Duarte-Clark are back with the premiere of their latest play “El Fin del Mundo.” They are the team that brought us the hilarious and thought-provoking shows “Dona Rosita’s Jalapeno Kitchen” and “Rosita’s Day of the Dead.”
“El Fin Del Mundo Motel” is a show about two veteranas who cut their teeth in the Chicano Movement, who loved each other through fundraisers, children, diapers and protest marches. A disagreement ensued about politics and they went their separate ways. Lola is now the owner of “El Fin del Mundo Motel” in El Paso. Her friend Maria Lupe is on a bus with a dead cell phone on her way to see Lola. Each woman finds herself alone, in trouble and in danger. They need each other, but first there is a desert to cross.
El Fin Del Mundo Motel is a National Performance Network (NPN) Creation Fund Project co-commissioned by Jump-Start Performance Co. in partnership with Teatro De La Esperanza and NPN. For more information: www.npnweb.org. Project supported in part by the Ford Foundation, JP Morgan Chase, the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and Southwest Airlines through a grant from NALAC Fund for the Arts.
