‘Exiles’ Resonates across Cultures
Artists Rep present the Northwest pre
miere of Exiles by famed film, theatre and
television actor Carlos Lacámara.
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."
