Mariposa/Butterfly – Eastern Michigan University

Mariposa/Butterfly

June 6th at 2p

Sponberg Theatre

Two neighbors live side-by-side in Texas. A low fence separates their gardens, but much more divides them from each other. One grows flowers; the other raises vegetables. One was born in the U.S., the other in Mexico. One speaks English, the other Spanish. Their differences have kept them so far apart that if one predicts a sunny day, then the other is certain of rain. Even the arrival of a caterpillar causes disagreement—until the resulting mariposa/butterfly, and its eventual departure, unites them in wonder, sadness and a new understanding of the beautiful world they share.

This Performance is made possible with support from the Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation.
