Alum Sayda Trujillo (BFA ‘00 Acting) presents “I was Raised Mexican”

“I Was Raised Mexican” investigates the experience of acquired identity. A Guatemalan teenager finds herself identified by her community as Mexican. Visually, it is a peeling of layers, each offering a possible answer to What is Mexican? Asking, What do you see when you see me? What do we carry with us? What is impossible to leave behind? Through movement, song, absurdist and poetic text, “I Was Raised Mexican” pays close attention to what the immigrant carries with him/her and what this translates in their adopted new home/country.

Through a collage of people and places, of music and dancing, of love stories and picnics and business schemes and shootings and chicken jokes and golfing, it's a play made as one of America's greatest artists, Robert Rauschenberg, might have conceived it if he had been a playwright instead of a painter.
