Sky on the Skin (El Cielo en la Piel)

Book excerpt: "In this dark fairy tale by one of Mexico's most acclaimed playwrights, the mistreated body of a woman appears amidst a landscape of bright colors, evoking the tragedy of gender violence in Mexico. A rhapsodic deconstruction of love--painful and piercing--which journeys into the deepest landscape of the body. Told through many voices, there is only one way to feel the sky on your skin--by reinventing yourself through the flesh of another. This play was translated by Migdalia Cruz with a commission from the Lark Play Department Development Center's Mexico/United States Playwright Exchange program."--Back cover
