Legend of the Trouble Dolls

Winner of the AATE Unpublished Play Award

In the mountains of Guatemala the native peoples share an ancient legend with their children...

...before sleeping, the child must tell her doll her trouble and while she sleeps, the doll will solve the problem.

Mayan Indian characters are swept into the enchantment of this legend. The appearance of Fuego, the volcano's spirit, leaves the youngest audiences breathless.

 

"Under the earth Fuego is grumbling and rumbling.
 He is angry and when he is angry his blood runs hot!"
 -- Papa
