MESTIZA POWER! by Concepción León Mora. Translated from the Spanish by Virginia Grise. Through the hustle and bustle of the market this play enters the daily lives of the mestizas, indigenous women from the landscapes of Mérida, Mexico. From a run-away maid, to a mestiza who wears Ray Bans, to a widow with el don, the power to heal, these women are unafraid of life's harsh realities. As they reveal their stories, rites and myths, Mestiza Power shows us women empowered by their roots and a spirit of independence. This play was translated by Virginia Grise with a commission from the Lark's Mexico/United States Playwright Exchange program. This print edition of the translation is a collaboration between the Lark and NoPassport theatre alliance and press.
