In the Time of the Butterflies
This tale of courage and sisterhood is inspired by the true story of the Dominican Republic’s Mirabal siblings whose underground resistance proved that despots are not invincible. A skillful blend of fact and fiction, In the Time of the Butterflies breathes life into the amazing 22-year journey of the sisters as they speak truth to the atrocities of dictator Rafael Trujillo.
Performed in Spanish and English (with translated supertitles in both languages), this bilingual world premiere is written by Caridad Svich, author of Mixed Blood’s 2010 play based on Isabel Allende’s The House of the Spirits.
