Based on the true saga of one family's exodus to Miami via the 1960s Freedom Flights, ISLA follows three young women who learn that sometimes the real world can be stronger than magic. It is a story about sisters, memory, belonging — and the things we keep and the things we leave behind.
Every performance features a full original songbook and a live Latin jazz-influenced score. Cinematic projections, recorded interviews with Blain's mother and aunts, and an extended cast of handmade shadow puppets revitalize this carousel slideshow of generational memory through the exquisite craft of HTL's technical team.
