With support from the CAC, Brava! for Women in the Arts will present the world premiere of Kat Evasco’s interactive play, Be Like Water, which examines the mental health impacts of anti-immigrant rhetoric and policies on undocumented families through Lorna, the matriarch of a Filipino-American family of four women. Tensions build as they come to terms with their differing immigration statuses and the lies that Lorna tells to keep her adult daughters in the dark about their “illegal” status. Each character confronts what freedom means and what it takes to create a sense of safety; even if it’s an illusion. The interactive components of this play will allow the audience to more deeply understand the toll discrimination has on immigrant communities and reimagine how a future where immigrants are embraced and valued across all societies.
