Martina and the Birdmen
Synopsis
This is a play that addressing the migration topic from the perspective of a girl who suffers abandonment caused by poverty; as well as touching on a current issue that represents and moves us as a nation, it is a play worthy of being performed before young audiences.
All the birdmen who emigrated to the United States in search of work have already returned, all except Martín, Martina’s father, who in his eagerness to recover his father from oblivion makes a mind-blowing journey through the adventures and dangers that an illegal emigrant has to go through.
