Las Lloronas, a hyper‐realistic theatrical show written by Miguel Maspons, a Miami‐born lawyer and third‐generation funeral home owner, will premiere at the Westchester Cultural Arts Center, the new cultural venue built at the entrance of Tropical Park, 7930 SW 40 Street, in Miami.
Las Lloronas is a hyper‐realistic and impactful immersive theater production that introduces the audience to the historical practice of professional mourners and how it was utilized in a fictional Cuban funeral home in the 1950’s and later in Miami, Florida. By utilizing drama and dark humor, the play will show how the practice of hiring professional mourners began as a noble profession designed to assist grieving families and how one llorona distorted the practice into a money‐making, criminal enterprise that resorted to extortion and worse.
