Caravan 

by Sumaya Zeidat

Directed by Alejandro Martinez

Produced by Stages

Role: Dani

Caravan is the story of a Mexican American family struggling to coexist as they mature into new people. It primarily follows the perspective of Mateo, a seventeen year old boy, supressing all the things he was raised to push down. As Mateo feels pulled in the direction of a boy from school, a pull to become his father, and a yearning to be like his sisters, he is faced with heavy decisions inside and outside of the home. His sisters Layla and Victoria struggle to understand their roles in the family, one coping by joining the Jehovah’s Witness congregation, and the other by rebeling as much as possible. Told through dreams and time speeding by, Caravan is about expectations and our choices to meet those of others or ourselves.
