Against the ceaseless watch of a dirty sea, two lovers named Mori and Maura try to survive against all odds. A poetic, hip-hop inspired drama of epic love, immigration, sexual tourism, and globalisation by Caridad Svich, one of the US' most daring Latina dramatists. This volume features an introduction by eminent critic Marvin Carlson and an afterword by Latina Studies scholar Tamara Underiner. This play originally premiered in Cologne, Germany in 2007.
