Palestine, New Mexico
World Premiere
Secrets in the Military. Conflicts on the Rez. A female U.S. Army Captain returns from Iraq to inform the Chief of a New Mexico Native American tribe that his son died under her command. Officially classified as a friendly fire death, the suspicious circumstances create a crisis of conscience for Captain Siler, who takes the case of Lance Corporal Raymond Birdsong to the Military Courts.
Culture Clash, L.A.’s premiere Chicano performance group, returns with a World Premiere play about America’s constantly shifting political landscape exploring loss, identity and the notion of occupied homelands.
Richard Montoya employs the group’s signature research and interview process to mold an intensely personal story. Palestine, New Mexico promises to be an inherently theatrical work that mixes humor and cold fact to unforgettable and galvanizing effect.
"You laugh, you enjoy, all the while sensing that you’re also seeing something authentic, something important that lurks underneath politics and headlines."
- Steven Winn, San Francisco Chronicle
