"'...students were fully engaged with Cenicienta throughout, even if they didn't understand one of the languages being spoken. Such moments emphasize the important of latin youth seeing and hearing actors who look and sound like them on stage - such representation is necessary in fostering youth's connection with theatre."
Produced & performed by Glass Half Full Theatre, Austin, Texas.
Ten-year-old Belinda is a budding poet and loves to tell stories, but when she’s stuck in the basement preparing for a party upstairs that her stepmother and stepsisters will host, she’ll have to get creative. It’s a Cinderella story within a story; Belinda lives out her version while also re-enacting the classic tale of Cinderella, using whatever objects are at her disposal: napkins, teapots, and doilies, to name just a few. With these everyday items, a healthy dose of imagination, and a love of poetry passed down by her father, Belinda imagines a bigger world for herself. This captivating bilingual one-woman performance is a modern spin on the beloved fairy tale and tackles cultural heritage, family, and the power of language.
