By Jade Alvara Its 1890. The textile factory workers are all women. They are overworked, underpaid, and fed up with the bosss unwanted advances. Our protagonist, Mira, is pregnant... and theres a healer in the woods who can help. Magic seeps through the seams of Miras reality as she is dragged into the underworld and is faced with far more than the weight of her own trauma. Folklorica , the debut play by playwright Jade Alvara, is a joyous tearjerker that plays fun at the ridiculousness of classism, shares the love of latinidad, and embodies the strength of workers.
