Mambo, carnival, revolution, Fidel and my dad, Miami, hotdogs, drag queens, the circus, Hollywood, music and dance highlight Cenal’s bilingual experience of being yanked from her native Cuba as a child and yearning to return. The strong presence of her father guides her through the American cultural landscape.

“I saw your show last night and was really blown away. To say that I loved it would be a massive understatement. Thank you so much for your beautiful, inspiring, deeply moving performance. That’s the kind of theatrical experience I live for!” – David McCandless; Head of Directing Program, Oregon Center for the Arts
