Trio Los Machos
Casa 0101 Theater
( 06/08/2012 - 07/08/2012 )
Running Time: 90 minutes
CASA 0101 Theater proudly presents the world premiere of Trio Los Machos, written by Josefina Lopez and featuring the music of Trio Los Panchos. The play explores the themes of music, aging and friendship set against the backdrop of the Bracero guest worker program (1942-1964) between the US and Mexico. The story follows three young migrant workers who sing in the barracks to entertain their fellow field hands. Before long, their youthful drive and ambition enables them to make their living as musicians and leave the dreaded fields. However, as they grow older and their abilities and health begin to deteriorate, they become increasingly dependent on one another. Their proud machismo, which in the past helped them survive hardship becomes a barrier for them, forcing them to confront their vulnerabilities. Based on the music of “Trio Los Panchos”, the play celebrates the magic of music while exploring a lesser known chapter of US History.
