Focusing on language itself, we explore the idea of bilingualism on-stage. This project also attempts to examine how specific cultural idioms in a Spanish-language play can be conveyed to an English-speaking audience, holding true to the intended meaning of a play as presented in its original language.

Focusing on language itself, we explore the idea of bilingualism on-stage. This project also attempts to examine how specific cultural idioms in a Spanish-language play can be conveyed to an English-speaking audience, holding true to the intended meaning of a play as presented in its original language. This symposium includes a staged reading of La Luz de Un Cigarrillo (The Light of a Cigarette) by Marco Antonio Rodriguez in both Spanish and English, performed by Francis Madi, Daniel Anthony Hidalgo, Fior Peralta and Katherine Rodriguez. The panel discussion will include a Q&A; session with the audience.
