"Torera" Produced by Outside In Theatre

WHAT: Torera is a powerful play about a young latina woman who dares to step into the bullfighting arena in Yucatán, Mexico, confronting tradition, identity, and legacy. Written by Monet Hurst-Mendoza and directed by Jude Lucas, Torera intimately portrays Elena María Ramírez’s path to becoming her truest self, an empowering and poignant tale steeped in cultural tradition, class struggle, and the defiance of a patriarchal society.
