In this visually arresting production that blends sophisticated puppetry and original music with live actors, Yamel, a girl on the threshold of adulthood, is hunted by ICE and tormented by specters drawn from Mexican folklore and modern horror movies. As she crosses the shadowy frontier between life and death, Yamel must summon the courage and wisdom to confront both inherited fears and present-day violence. The bilingual production is performed in English and Spanish and features supertitles in both languages.
