To cap Women’s History Month, the CCCNY presents a ONE-NIGHT-ONLY streaming of Mala, Melinda Lopez‘s one-woman tour-de-force about the most common of events—the end of life. While sharing her experience as a daughter caring for her ailing mother, Lopez delivers a a darkly funny tale about what it means to put our loved ones first, right to the very end, and what happens when we strive to be good but don’t always succeed. Deeply funny and unsentimental, Mala earned the 2017 Elliot Norton Award for Best New Play and an Arts Impulse Award for Best Solo Performance.
The video streaming will be followed by a Zoom Q&A with the audience, moderated by literary critic Isabel Álvarez-Borland, member of our Theater Program.
This event is part of our CreateNYC Language Access Series on Cuban History, Art, and Literature. It will be held in English and will be streamed through our Vimeo channel.
