Graduate Musical Theatre Writing Program alums Jamie Buxton (Cycle 29) and Pablo Concha (Cycle 29) present QUILLÉN at New York Theater Festival's Winterfest.
Latiné Musical Theatre Lab and Teatro Latea unite to present the new Chilean musical QUILLÉN at New York Theater Festival's Winterfest, December 13, 16 & 17, 2022.
QUILLÉN (key-YEN) is a story of a boy who has lost his father and who moves with his mother to a new home in Chile. His father was Mapuche, and in the new place the landlord knows the workings of the Mapuche spirit world. Quillén then embarks upon a journey to find out if his father has become an honored Pillan ancestor. Along the way, he meets characters from Chilean and Mapuche mythology who teach him about honoring his ancestors, honoring nature, and honoring his heart.
QUILLÉN features a tuneful score of traditional and contemporary Chilean music composed by Concha with book and lyrics by Buxton. The production is directed by Braulio Basilio, music directed by Saul Nache, choreographed by Felipe Vasquez-Encamilla, and produced by Gustavo Brito.
