From the garbage dump in Guatemala to the tent cities in Haiti, LUZ explores the epic journeys of refugees Luz, Helene and Zia, as they seek asylum and hope, with the help of human rights lawyer Alexandra, in this volatile, tender, surreal new play. The personal and global intertwine as we see various intersecting stories unfold in ways that reveal surprising enlightening connections.
