SKY ON THE SKIN (EL CIELO EN LA PIEL), A Scenic Rhapsody By Edgar Chías. Translated from the Spanish by Migdalia Cruz. 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 Development Center's Mexico/United States Playwright Exchange program.This print edition of the translation is a collaboration between the Lark and NoPassport theatre alliance and press.
