WORLD PREMIERE!

With Culture Clash,  “You laugh, you enjoy, all the while sensing that you’re also seeing something  authentic, something important that lurks underneath politics and headlines.”

- Steven Winn, San  Francisco Chronicle

Secrets in the  Military. Conflicts on the Rez.  A  female U.S. Army Captain returns from Iraq to inform the Chief of a New  Mexico Native American tribe that his son died under her command. Officially  classified as a friendly fire death, the suspicious circumstances create a  crisis of conscience for Captain Siler, who takes the case of Lance Corporal  Raymond Birdsong to the Military Courts.

Culture  Clash, L.A.’s premiere Chicano performance  group, returns with a World Premiere play about America’s constantly shifting  political landscape exploring loss, identity and the notion of occupied  homelands.

Richard  Montoya employs the group’s signature research and interview process to mold an  intensely personal story. Palestine, New Mexico promises to be an inherently theatrical work that mixes humor and cold fact to  unforgettable and galvanizing effect.
