A lyrical and haunting exploration of memory, love, and the echoes of history
Nilo Cruz’s Sotto Voce is a poetic exploration of memory, loss, and the enduring power of love. Saquiel, a young Cuban man obsessed with the M.S. St. Louis—a ship of Jewish refugees turned away from American shores in 1939—seeks out Bemadette Kahn, an aging German-born writer who lost her lover in that tragic voyage. As they form an unconventional bond through phone calls and imagined conversations, Bemadette confronts long-buried grief. Through poetic language and magical realism, Sotto Voce intertwines past and present, exile and longing, and the lingering weight of history.
Featuring the talents of:
Sharry O'Hare as Bemadette Kahn
John Pedro as Saquiel Rafaeli
Valeria Sanchez-Jimenez as Lucila Pulpo
Recommended for Ages 12+
