When an unexpected blizzard forces UC Berkeley first-year student Mia to wait out the storm at a rural highway gas station and general store in Southern Colorado, she’s forced to confront a past that she is both fleeing and seeking out. As she shares family memories with store owner Moises to pass the time, another world creeps in — one of shadows, forgotten prayers, and secrets hiding right in plain sight.
In this world premiere production, In Her Bones explores the complicated legacy of crypto-Judaism in the Southwest, illuminating an unlikely tale of secrecy, faith, fear, and how we pass on culture when written records are too dangerous to keep. Driven by a community-engaged, Colorado-based research process, this piece explores if our identities and rituals rise from earth and mountains where we spend our days, are inherited in the ancient stories of our blood, or are learned in the motions of mothers at sunset and overheard songs of grandparents.
