Ursula tells the story of seven-year-old Nadia, who becomes separated from her mother after seeking asylum at the border. As Nadia waits for her asylum to be processed, she remembers the life she left behind in Honduras and wonders about the new one she’s facing. Original music by Armando Monsivais will transport audiences inside Nadia’s mind as she tries to make sense of everything happening around her. Staged imaginatively with puppets and handmade dolls, Ursula reveals the inner world, desires and resilience of a child seeking a better life by immigrating to the United States.
Performed mostly in Spanish with some English,
Ursula provides subtitles in both languages.
