Casta<\/a> a new play by Adrienne Dawes<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Casta<\/em><\/a> is inspired by a series of casta paintings<\/a> by Miguel Cabrera<\/a>, a mixed-race painter from Oaxaca<\/a>. Casta paintings were a unique form of portraiture that organized racial mixtures of the New World<\/a> according to a hierarchy defined by Spanish elites. How do Old World<\/a> anxieties about ambiguous racial identity reflect contemporary biases?<\/p>\n

This is the third WPA workshop for Casta<\/em>. In this current draft of Casta<\/em>, the creative team is incorporating puppetry, expanding music by composer Graham Reynolds<\/a> and exploring bilingual text. After a week of developing these new elements, audiences are invited to witness the piece in its current form.<\/p>\n
