"Quiara Hudes is in her own league. Her sentences will take your
breath away. How lucky we are to have her telling our stories." -
Lin-Manuel Miranda From the Pulitzer-prize winning playwright
behind IN THE HEIGHTS comes a spellbinding coming-of-age story, and
a vibrant and life-affirming celebration of the women who guide us.
Born in Philadelphia to a Jewish father and an enigmatic Puerto
Rican mother, Quiara Alegria Hudes had a love-and-trouble-filled
upbringing, haunted by the unspoken, untold family secrets of the
barrio. In the face of real world wounds, the powerful, Orisha-like
women of her family possessed a strength, joy and sensuality that
left a young Quiara awe struck. She vowed to tell their stories.
But confronted by a world that treated her like an outsider, Quiara
knew she must find a new language, one which reflected the multiple
cultures that raised this Puerto Rican child of North Philly.
Written and spoken, English and Spanish, sacred and profane - as
her search for a way to share her family's story deepened, an
artist emerged, ready to speak her truth. An inspired exploration
of home, family and memory, My BROKEN LANGUAGE is the story of a
sharp-eyed observer who finds her voice and learns to boldly tell
the stories that only she can tell.
