San Jose-based Teatro Vision presents Ghosts of the River a play that incorporates shadow theater, masked actors, and live music along with Octavio Solís’ epic writing into a unique collection of vignettes of those who have encountered the Rio Grande throughout time: Mexican Revolution refugees fleeing from violence; narcotic rivalries that strew the river with the dead; and Border Patrol agents who toil against the tide of immigration and personal conscience. Produced by San Francisco’s Shadowlight Productions, Ghosts of the River shares the untold stories of both sides of the divide.

Part three of Culture Clash’s trilogy of plays on California Latino history, (Chavez Ravine and Zorro the others), Water & Power is a gripping look at the new Latino power structure. Twin brothers Water and Power – one a rising star state senator and the other an honored police officer – must call upon their conflicted histories to prevent their careers and the city from crashing to ruin. Produced in English and peppered with Culture Clash’s trademark satire and biting wit, Water & Power will also be directed by fellow clashero Herbert Sigüenza.
March 12-29 at the Mexican Heritage Plaza
