Eva Luna opens at Teatro Dallas in November

Inspired by Isabel Allende’s award-winning novel and reimagined by Caridad Svich, this theatrical adaptation tells the story of a young woman who refuses to disappear.

Born into poverty and loss, Eva Luna survives through the force of her imagination, transforming hardship into story and invisibility into voice. As she moves from servitude into the margins of a politically volatile city, she encounters revolutionaries, sex workers, artists, and exiles, all navigating a world shaped by repression and desire. In a landscape where women’s bodies are controlled and dissent is punished, Eva discovers that storytelling itself is power.

This production blends magical realism, live music, and ensemble-driven performance to illuminate themes of gender justice, migration, censorship, and resilience. At its core, Eva Luna is a celebration of the artist as a truth-teller and of community as a force for survival and change.

Transmedia Theatre Plays Book Review: sharp attunement to our rapidly changing times

Taylor and Francis has published a review of Transmedia Theatre Plays: A Contemporary Analogy. You can find the review HERE. An excerpt:


Caridad Svich’s collection of plays, which exhibits what is now widely termed ‘transmedia’ theatre, compiles seven performative pieces produced during the pandemic years, specifically between 2020 and 2022. The word ‘contemporary’ in the title has seldom felt more justified than it does here considering the astounding level of formal exploration and innovation introduced in these plays as well as their sharp attunement to our rapidly changing times. 

Transmedia Theatre Plays by Caridad Svich offers an assortment of plays, markedly diverse in their aims and scope, but united by their outstanding quality of open-heartedness with regard to the various matters they tackle.
