Synopsis

Dinora, a Cuban-American immigrant, and Khalilah, a Syrian refugee, move in together amidst a charged 2016 presidential campaign, the lifting of the Cuban embargo, and the escalation of the Syrian Civil War. Through their growing, and sometimes tumultuous friendship, they learn about forgiveness, radical love, and the true meaning of home.

SILUETAS, un musical nuevo, trae a la luz la historia de inmigrantes y refugiados. La ex ama de casa Dinora y la activista y artista Khalilah se mudan juntas en medio de la tensa elección presidencial de 2016, el relajamiento del embargo Cubano y la escalada de la Guerra Civil Siria. A través de su creciente amistad y un poco de ayuda de los Ancestros, aprenden sobre la importancia de la comunidad, la amistad, y el perdón. Con libreto de Erlina Ortiz y música y letra de Robi Hager, SILUETA captura el dolor del desplazamiento, la necesidad de elección y la incertidumbre que todos enfrentamos cuando las fronteras son más importantes que la familia.

سلويتا، عرض موسيقي جديد يبرز قصص المهاجرين واللاجئين ويسلط عليهم الضوء. تنتقل الزوجة السابقة وذات الطبع المحافظ واسمها دينورا للعيش مع الفنانة الناشطة خليلة وذلك وسط حملة رئاسية مشحونة لعام 2016 ، وتخفيف الحظر المفروض على كوبا، وتصاعد الحرب الأهلية السورية. من خلال صداقتهم المتنامية وقليل من الإرشادات والنصائح من الأجداد، يتعلمون عن أهمية المجتمع والصداقة والتسامح. من خلال كتابة وكلمات لإيرلينا أورتيز وموسيقى وكلمات لروبي هاجر ، تسلط سلويتا الضوء على الألم الناتج عن التهجير القسري والحاجة إلى الاختيار والحيرة التي نواجهها جميعًا عندما تكون الحدود الجغرافية أكثر أهمية من الأسرة.
