American Night: The Ballad of Juan José
2910 La Jolla Village Drive, San Diego, 92037
In some of Culture Clash's best work to date, a kaleidoscopic dream guides the title character on an official tour of American history. Along the way he discovers some of the "hidden history" the dominant culture has tucked away and bonds with unexpected allies. At the La Jolla Playhouse, the performances, directed with split-second timing by Jo Bonney, match the fluidity of Shawn Sagady's spectacular videos. The story is a corrida, a folk tale passed on by word of mouth. Rene Millan excels as Juan José, who sheds a stereotype before your eyes. And in the end he knows more about U.S. citizenship and American history than most of the audience.
Critic's Pick.
