Conceived By: Julio Torres & Martine Gutierrez 

Written and Directer By: Julio Torres

In this world premiere by Julio Torres and Martine Gutierrez, audiences are invited under the sea. Martine stars as Marina, a New York City seawench on a journey of romance and self-discovery. Along with production design by Griffin Stoddard, score by Lia Ouyand Rusli, and choreography by Ryan McNamara, Torres and Gutierrez’s comic collaboration blends their surreal humor and sublime artistry into something altogether unique. 

Head to The Play Ground on Saturday, August 29, for a free DJ set by Maya Margarita, between Marina’s 9:30pm and 11:59pm performances.

Run time: 50 minutes
