When Melanie loses her mother, she throws herself into caregiving at the local Senior Center, only to fall under the spell of Rizalina, an Alzheimer's patient whose dreamworld holds the key to Melanie's Filipino ancestors. When Ruben loses his father, he rages at his mother Patsy and her new Senior Center beau Buddy, while the ghost of Ruben's father walks the halls. What does it mean to care for another? What does it mean to choose life over death, even at life's end? And where do we find joy in a river of forgetfulness? Playwright Octavio Solis takes us to the river Lethe in this startling new play full of soulful imagery, insouciant humor, and magical song.
