Playwright Luis Alfaro's latest work 'The Travelers,' presented by Latino Theater Company, creates an imaginative world unto its own onstage.
Playwright Luis Alfaro, newly appointed associate artistic director of Center Theatre Group, has a powerful vision for the theater.The play, which had its world premiere in February at the Magic Theatre under the direction of Catherine Castellanos , begins with a ritual. The brothers slowly strip down before putting on their religious robes — an act akin to a snake shedding its old skin before growing a new one.
Juan , the wounded man seemingly shot out of a cannon into this crumbling monastery, joins the brothers. He is resented by Brother Nacho , the most hot-tempered among them, for being another mouth to feed. The men are stressed by uncertainty as much as by hunger.
A rebellion against Brother Santo’s leadership is fomented by Brother Nacho, to the skittishness of Brother Daniel and Brother Yiyo . But the driving dramatic movement is internal rather than external. Juan arrived at the monastery after a brutal encounter at a bar that left his body as battered as his soul had been. He recounts sinful deeds, including a “long bender” of “booze,” “cocaine” and “Fresno motels” that brought him to the depths of hell. Having been granted a second chance by the grace of God, he now wants to help others navigate through their fears to find their new possibilities.
