In this acclaimed production, an old Chicano man turns to a lifetime’s collection of touching stories and mementos to awaken and investigate his great-grandson’s interest in the families shared history and culture. The 45-minute play offers an illumination of Mexican American history that spans the entire 20th century, highlights El Rencanche, the mass deportations of the Great Depression and the Cesar Chavez-led farm workers movement. The play is a celebration of the accomplishments, character and aspirations of Latinos in Minnesota and across the country. Mixed Blood is a multi-cultural theatre company founded in 1967 that offers several regional touring productions throughout the year. A 15-minute Q & A session follows.
