Pancho Villa
Pancho Villa comes to life in this US premiere bilingual production by De Antonio Zúñiga, presented at GALA Hispanic Theatre. The play weaves together the perspectives of an old man, a young man, and a child as they revisit the Mexican Revolution, resurrecting the iconic revolutionary through memory, corridos, and myth. As history blurs with folklore, a new portrait emerges of Villa as a leader who understood the power of storytelling.
