MELANCHOLIA
by Latino Theater Lab
Directed by José Luis Valenzuela

Devised and collectively written by members of the Latino Theater Lab in 2007, this highly theatrical, Iraq war-themed work featuring music, dance and stylized choreography premiered at The Los Angeles Theatre Center in 2007 under the direction of José Luis Valenzuela before traveling to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, then was revived in 2013 by the Latino Theater Company. Now, with Valenzuela again at the helm, LACC drama students take on this unique exploration of the life of a young marine who, upon his return from the Iraq War, finds himself struggling to reconnect in a world that no longer makes sense.

This event is free with a suggested donation of $10.
