Chula is a bold, music-infused solo performance that begins in a striking black-and-white backstage world in 2008, where Aria prepares to premiere the first mariachi opera in Canada.
As the haunting strains of “Cucurrucucú Paloma” begin – a song that has followed her like a ghost since childhood – we are swept back to the neon and fluorescent world of 1980s Guatemala and mid 90s Edmonton, tracing a life shaped by migration, survival, and the pressure to assimilate. Performed by a single actor in both English and Spanish, Chula brings to life a chorus of characters – some who understand each other, and many who don’t – capturing the humour, tension, and heartbreak of living between languages. Blending music, storytelling, and theatrical transformation, the piece asks: what is your voice when you no longer know which language is the one truest to who you are?
