The Ghosts of Lote Bravo By Hilary Bettis

In Cuidad Juarez, Mexico young girls often disappear. Many turn up murdered. Juanda Cantu’s daughter, Raquel, is one of these girls. Through visions offered by La Santa Muerte, Juanda is shown Raquel’s past only to discover that her daughter had hopes, dreams and courage Juanda knew nothing about. The Ghosts of Lote Bravo is a play about great hope amid relentless violence, poverty and grief. 

 

Directed by Denise Blasor, the Associate Artistic Director at Bilingual Foundation of the Arts and founding member of LAAFO, KOAN and East LA Classic Theater.

Audience Discovery

The Ghosts of Lote Bravo is not just a story about a desperate mother hoping to find her missing daughter. There are a few big concepts that will inform the world of the play. Some are refrenced directly in the play and others loom large in the background.
