A new play explores the role
that individuals with a dual iden-
tity—whether that’s bilingual,
bi-national, bicultural, etc.--face
in the world, but not in our world
and not in a way that you’d expect.
Written by New York Based
playwright and director Georgi-
na Escobar, Bi- will see its 2018

book Flatland by Edwin Abott
and set in the year 2073 in Tierra
Plana, a nation of squares, walls,
boxes, and other shapes with
multiple identities, but are only
assigned a singular one by their
government.

ed Milagro with her husband
