"Set in a small rural town in BC’s Northern interior, a new political party has swept into office with the promise of big changes: changes that could put the nail in the coffin for a little carbon-economy town, that is, if climate change doesn’t wipe it out first. In a time where it feels easy to spit rhetoric and blame each other, a familiar face in the party forces childhood friends to have tough conversations and work together for change." - From the firehall arts centre description of the play

In a run-down Vancouver hotel in 1974, months after the start of the Pinochet regime, eight Chilean refugees (from children to adults) struggle, at times haplessly, at times profoundly, to decide if fleeing their homeland means they have abandoned their friends and responsibilities or not. Although focusing on a particular group of Latinx refugees, this play gives voice to refugee communities from all corners of the globe

Carmen explores her tensions between revolutionary and romantic love. She speaks from joining the underground resistance committing herself to the movement on the border between Chile and Argentina, a sexually passionate but emotionally impossible relationship and her quest to create space for self-love.
