Production Description

Part of Pro.Act Festival 2022

Mermaid Arts Centre & Once Off Productions
presents
LOOKING FOR AMÉRICA
written and performed by Federico Julián González
directed and co-written by Janet Moran

In 2019, Fede and his 74 year old mother, set off on a quest through Havana to look for América. Shared memories, conflicting recollections, and offline maps led them through their past. A past peopled with ghosts scattered among grand avenues, dark lanes and unnerving dead ends in the city that had taken them in more than 30 years before, when following his Father’s arrest by a Military Junta, five year old Fede and his family were forced to flee the Salvadoran Civil war.

Looking for América charts two journeys. The journey of that night in Havana looking for a Salvadoran ex-Guerilla fighter and the journey of escaping the catastrophe that had engulfed Fede’s country decades before. A catastrophe whose after effects still resonate today

Sometimes the idea of home has to be remade.

And remade.
