THE BREATH OF STARS is an immersive drama that looks at the workings of memory through stories of love and loss in the contemporary world. Shot through the lens of Shakespeare’s The Tempest and reconfigured for the digital age, we see Ariel 1 has lost Prospero who is gone, absent. Ariel 2 has also lost him. A Boy named Caliban wanders the desert and dreams while a girl named Miranda sits on a terrace sending signs to her brother in a hospital. A woman named Sycorax cannot remember and re-imagines a life she never led. The Breath of Stars is a play about the spinning globe, a lost city of strings, electric dreams, and finding a lover again in the body of a stranger. This text is an invitation to dream, or as Julio Cortazar insists, “Memory is the language of feeling.”

advocacy for U.S. Latin@ writing voices, and engagement with representations of the “fragile shores” in our lives. Caridad is an alumna playwright of New Dramatists and has received fellowships from Harvard/Radcliffe, NEA/TCG, PEW Charitable Trust, and California Arts Council. She holds an M.F.A. in Playwriting from the University of California San Diego and trained with the iconic María Irene Fornés in INTAR’s legendary Hispanic Playwrights in Residence Fellowship.
