When a storm leaves their tiny vessel helplessly adrift at sea, tension escalates as six Cuban refugees find themselves in a desperate battle against the elements, each other and their past. Set during the 1980 Mariel Boatlift when Fidel Castro allowed Cuban-Americans to bring family members by boat to America, but only if they took “undesirables” with them, this new play from a Cuban-born playwright sheds light on a rarely told, but fascinat ing story in American history. Artists Rep’s Artistic Director Dámaso Rodríguez, who is Cuban-American, di rects this first major production of Exiles since its critically acclaimed premiere in Los Angeles. “While Exiles is a powerfully insightful view of the Cuban exile experience two decades into Castro's reign," said Rodríguez, "I believe the play resonates with a myriad of countries and displaced cultural groups, across generations. De tails of time and place aside, Exiles is a story about the consequences of leaving one's home and the endless yearning for a land and era that sadly, and ironically, ceases to exist the moment one leaves it behind."
