Co-Produced with SCRAP (UNM Student Theatre Organization)
Luis Alfaro transforms Sophocles' Elektra into a passionate, powerful tale of the revenge cycle in gang culture. Electricidadmourns the murder of her father, an East L.A. gang king-pin, and vows revenge. In her determination, she pulls her brother, Orestes - a young man who managed to leave "the life" - back to commit the most tragic of crimes. At once violent and vibrant, Electricidad taps into the beauty, color and ruthlessness of this abandoned desert barrio. A sassy Abuela serves to add insight to the “old world” of the cholo, while Ifigenia, the sister who returns to the barrio as a nun, shows what cholos have the potential to become. It’s a struggle to find what it means to be a proud Chola when the world around you is a prison. “Y, mija—cuidate. It’s hard to keep your balance on the edge of a knife.” --Abuela
