Teatro Milagro Presents ¡Corre Corre!
¡Corre Corre!
Written by Ajai Terrazas Tripathi
Directed by Sarah Andrews
Choreographed by Gabriela Portuguez
Renowned for their incredible long distance running ability, the Tarahumara are the indigenous people who live in the northwestern region of Mexico. Inspired by the real life stories of Tarahumara runners, Teatro Milagros newest bilingual play shares the story of a young girl and her coach, who sees her potential as an Olympic competitor. Written by seasoned Milagro lead teaching artist and resident playwright, Ajai Terrazas Tripathi, ¡Corre, Corre! uses mythical imagery, dance movement, and poetic narrative to showcase a cultural perspective that inspires athleticism and perseverance.
