Daughter of a Cuban Revolutionary

World premiere REDCAT 2007, INTAR at the Daryl Roth NYC, Edinburgh, Miami, Guadelajara, LATC Encuentro 2017, Arts Emerson. Atlanta, The Goodman Theater. This solo tour de force tells an astonishing tale centered on three towering figures in the life of protean performer Marissa Chibás: her father, Raul Chibás, who co-wrote the manifesto for the Cuban revolution with Fidel Castro; her uncle, Eddy Chibás, who was the frontrunner for the Cuban presidency in 1951 before committing suicide during a live radio broadcast; and her mother, Dalia Chibás, Miss Cuba runner-up in 1959. Zigzagging through her own stories and key episodes in the history of her illustrious family, Chibás gives an impassioned, live- wire performance that is propelled by her near-death experience in the Venezuelan Amazonia.
