La Ruta

English

By (author): Isaac Gmez Isaac Gomez

To the U.S.-owned factories in Ciudad Jurez Mexico La Ruta is just a bus. But to the hundreds of women who live work and often disappear along the route it's so much more than that. Inspired by real testimonies and using live music to evoke factory work and protest marches La Ruta is a visceral unearthing of secrets buried in the desert and a celebration of the Mexican women who stand resiliently in the wake of loss.


Haunting harrowing... crescendos from a quiet whimper to an anguished cri de coeur. It's difficult to watch [but] impossible to look away. - Daily Herald


Filled with fraught intensely emotional scenes. Despite being set in the past La Ruta has plenty of contemporary relevance. - Chicago Sun-Times


Unrelenting tension animates the haunting harrowing La Ruta which crescendos from a quiet whimper to an anguished cri de coeur. It's difficult to watch [but] impossible to look away. - Daily Herald


Talented 27-year-old writer's new drama with music... tells of the women of Juarez murdered on their way to work. [Gmez] fulfilled his promise. He honors them with every word. Alive or dead you feel them in the bones of this young play. - Chicago Tribune


Countless moments of sheer theatrical beauty.... With La Ruta a play inspired by the true stories of the women of Jurez Gmez has crafted an act of storytelling whose primary function is as noble as any act of pure human inspiration one can find in the theater: keeping these women and their daughters alive. - Newcity


Bold beautiful and timely piece of art... La Ruta triumphs... an unmitigated dramatic victory. The setting may be Ciudad Juarez Mexico but the struggles of these poor strong beautiful women are universal. La Ruta is a must-see. - Broadway World
