La Mariposa is a devised performance ritual about a girl who has forgotten her name. She is haunted by dreams of her body becoming an expansive landscape. Mariposa searches for her identity in a dream world between a girl’s bedroom and the desert where spirits dance. In these borderlands she cries to her deities for strength and wisdom: Madre Viento, her mother, sings with her; Abuelita Coyote embraces her; and Quetzal Bird teaches her to dance with freedom.
