Currently workshopping Anywhere But Here, a new commission piece by Electric Company Theatre artist in residence Carmen Aguirre, in collaboration with Canadian hip-hop artist, Shad. In development with Playwrights Theatre Centre, this kick ass new play, set along the US/Mexico border, follows a family on a journey backwards towards Chile from Canada. Anywhere But Here confronts the cost of exile, and the true nature of home, through the Latinx lens. Full of humanity, humour, and music, the show will premiere in 2020 at The Vancouver Playhouse.
