Pénjamo: A
Pocha Road Trip Story

A special staged reading of Pénjamo: A Pocha Road Trip Story by Nancy García Loza at the National Museum of Mexican Art. Drawing on the playwright’s own family history, the play explores bicultural identity, self-discovery, and the myths and realities of ancestral homelands. Set shortly after the passage of the 1986 Immigration Reform & Control Act, it follows the period when amnesty provisions allowed immigrant families to visit their countries of origin for the first time while they were beginning to build a sense of belonging in the United States. The reading offers an early experience of the play and challenges the monolithic narrative of Mexican migration. The event is free, and advance booking is available.
