Publisher's Synopsis
AUTOPSY OF A SNOWFLAKE. (Autopsia de un copo de nieve)by Luis Santillán. Translated by Caridad Svich. In this play, a mother and her two daughters play out a darkly comic and tragic cycle of co-dependency that leads to an increasingly isolated interior landscape for each of them that spirals beyond their control. A story about the void at the heart of upper middle-class life and the patriarchal structures that contain women. This translation/adaptation was commissioned and developed at The Lark, New York City, as part of the 2019 US/Mexico Playwright Exchange Program, where it received a rehearsed reading under the direction of Adrian Alexander Alea. This publication is a collaboration between The Lark and NoPassport Press.
