She is currently working on a project staged with UC Santa Cruz students, a bilingual (English & Spanish) play by José Domingo Garzón based on the novel Pedro Páramo. The play is set in Comala, Mexico. This town was under the tyrannical rule of Pedro Páramo who owned people, herds of animals and vast lands. Juan Preciado, Pedro Páramo' son, following a promise that made to his dying mother, Dolores Preciado, travels to Comala to look for his father and claim what belongs to him. When he arrives in Comala he only finds a desolate ghost town with restless souls wandering and complaining without knowing they are dead. He hears murmurs, rumors, and whispers that help him to understand what happen to the town and when he comprehends Comala’s story it is too late to save himself.
