BORDERLANDS THEATER TO PRESENT THE PLAY THE WOMAN WHO FELL FROM THE SKY/ LA
MUJER QUE CAYO DEL CIELO BY VICTOR HUGO RASCON BANDA.
Back by popular demand! This is the true story of Rita Quintero, a Raramuri
(Tarahumara) Indian who is found wandering the streets of Kansas City. When
the local authorities don’t understand her language and can’t figure out who
she is, Rita is committed to a mental hospital for 12 years. Finally her
identity is discovered by Miguel Angel Giner, a Mexican school teacher. In
order to free Rita, Giner unleashes several lawsuits against the authorities
and hospital responsible for her ordeal. This trilingual production takes
an extraordinary and bold look at cultural insensitivity and its impact on
both sides of the border. Featuring, Award Winning Mexican actress Luisa
Huertas (The Crime of Padre Amaro).

Esta obra narra la historia veridical de Rita, indígena Rarámuri
(Tarahumara) quién es encontrada vagando por las calles de la ciudad de
Kansas City. Como las autoridades locales no entienden su lengua y no
pueden establecer su identidad , Rita es internada en un hospital
psiquiátrico por doce años. Finalmente su identidad es desvendada gracias a
Miguel Angel Giner, un maestro mexicano radicado en la región. Con el
objectivo de libertar a Rita, Giner inicia procesos jurídicos contra las
autoridades y el hospital. Esta producción trilingüe (inglés, español y
rarámuri) desenmascara de manera incisiva la falta de sensibilidad cultural
y su impacto en ambos lados de la frontera..
