Talks about today in a way that is fresh rather than forced. --The Globe and Mail
Twenty years after the death of their parents, the three Jurado sisters struggle to keep family traditions alive in their East Vancouver home. Beneath the surface, old tensions and resentments fracture their bonds. Disconnected from their culture, loved ones, and even themselves, they drift through ennui, inertia, and might-have-beens. But when a massive earthquake literally shakes the ground beneath them, they are forced to confront their open wounds before everything collapses.
Inspired by Chekhov's Three Sisters, Christine Quintana's daring and inventive dramatic comedy reimagines the well-made play with a bold magical realism twist. An existential journey through the depths of love and longing, El Terremoto is a life-affirming intervention about how nothing matters--so everything matters.
